This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, About Living a Compassionate Life by David Foster Wallace

David Foster Wallace delivered a speech about his philosophies on life for the 2005 Kenyon College commencement address. He only gave this speech once, and so, his words are reprinted (in book form) in This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, About Living a Compassionate Life. It’s easy to slip into bad habits. How do we live life in the best way we can: by living a compassionate life?
