A Hedonist's Guide to Life

Filed under: Journeys, Books

The publishers of the high-end Hedonist's guide book series are looking beyond the usual travel tips with their latest offering. Their new A Hedonist's Guide to Life is a tongue-in-cheek primer for those looking to earn a doctorate in decadence, or just get a crash course in how to have more fun.

There are provocative contributions from techno titan Moby, world-famous debauchee Sebastian Horsley (author of Dandy in the Underworld), and a certain cheeky toff named Sir Clement Freud, among others.

The 75 different topics include "How to Infiltrate the Jetset," "How to Eat Lobster in a War Zone," "How to Seduce with Champagne," "How to Get Ahead in the Art World," "What You Can Really Get Out of a Concierge," "A Hedonist's Guide to Decadent Travel," "How to Pick a Horse," "Sex Party Etiquette," and last but not least, "How to Sweet Talk the Cops."

That last one comes in pretty handy after you've done all the other stuff.
