Monocle is one of the most successful magazines to be developed in the past decade. For its first-ever book, the Editorial team looks at one of their core themes: how to live well. The result is The Monocle Guide to Better living, an original, informative, and entertaining collection of writing, reports, and recommendations.

Structured into chapters on the city, culture, travel, food, and work, the book also provides answers to some key questions. Which cities offer the best quality of life? How do you build a good school? How do you run a city? Who makes the best coffee? And how do you start your own inspirational business?

This is not a book about fashion or the next big thing. It’s a book about finding enduring values ―from a career you want to keep to furniture that will last a lifetime. It’s a book designed to stay relevant, loved, and used.

The 400-page book features original photography and illustrations printed on a selection of the highest quality papers as our own contribution to making the world a little more liveable and loveable.

The Monocle Guide to Better Living is the ultimate reference for inspirational ways to improve your life.
