Lifesthetics is a postmodern philosophy for living. In very few words, lifesthetics challenges us to find our joie de vivre (Pablo Picasso’s La Joie de Vivre. Antibes. Fall 1946.) not through conformity (social, religious, or otherwise), or complacency (with our selves, our ambitions), but rather, through aesthetic self-discovery (by creation, cultural experience, perspective taking, conoisseurship, life-long learning, reflection, and becoming).

I like that, very Buddhist.
