By most measures, he\'s "made it." But his latest book, How to Live a Good Life, caused him to question everything he knew about writing.\\n\\n \\n\\nIn this episode, he recounts the odyssey of writing the book and shares what he learned studying the most successful authors in business. He also geeks out about the most exciting part of reading great writing -- and the weird reaction we all seem to share when we encounter it.\\n\\n \\n\\n(Slingshots are short stories about a creative side project that led somewhere surprising or unexpected. They run every other week as part of Unthinkable.)\\n\\n \\n\\nLINKS TO KNOW:\\n\\n \\n\\nJonathan\'s new book is available here: [https://www.amazon.com/How-Live-Good-Life-Surprising/dp/1401948413](https://www.amazon.com/How-Live-Good-Life-Surprising/dp/1401948413)\\n\\n \\n\\nJonathan\'s Twitter: [https://twitter.com/jonathanfields](https://twitter.com/jonathanfields)\\n\\n \\n\\nJonathan\'s podcast:\\xa0[http://www.goodlifeproject.com/radio/](http://www.goodlifeproject.com/radio/)\\n\\n \\n\\nJay\'s Twitter (best way to chat and offer feedback): [http://twitter.com/jayacunzo](http://twitter.com/jayacunzo)\\n\\n \\n\\nJay\'s Snapchat (go behind-the-scenes making the show): [http://snapchat.com/add/jayacunzo](http://snapchat.com/add/jayacunzo)\\n\\n \\n\\nTOPICS DISCUSSED:\\n\\n \\n\\nWriting\\n\\n \\n\\nBooks\\n\\n \\n\\nReading\\n\\n \\n\\nAuthors\\n\\n \\n\\nNovels\\n\\n \\n\\nCreativity\\n\\n \\n\\nIntuition\\n\\n \\n\\nCraft\\n\\n \\n\\nSide Projects\\n\\n \\n\\nPodcasts'
