In 2006, Stefan Sagmeister published Things I have learned in my life
so far, a book born from a running list he keeps in his diary. With the
support of his clients, Sagmeister began transforming these personal
maxims into typographic artworks, which appeared on billboards, in
magazines, and in public spaces all over the world. The result is an
intriguing blend of personal revelation, visual audacity, and
examination of the pursuit of happiness.
This revised and updated edition includes all of the aphorisms from the
first book along with an additional 48 pages of new ones, and
incorporates recent material from Sagmeister's exhibitions at the Deitch
Projects gallery in Soho and the Institute of Contemporary Art in
Philadelphia, as well as his current project, The Happy Film. The book
retains its unique packaging, now with 18 unbound signatures gathered
into a laser-cut slipcase.
