About

Michel de Montaigne was a French nobleman, government official, winegrower and essayist who lived in the Perigord area of southwestern France.  Montaigne, one of Pete"s and John's favorite writers , wrote more than one hundred essays touching on living a good life.

In memory of our dear friend Pete, we dedicate this place on the Site and invite all Good Life Seminar Alumni to write your own Dear Montaigne letters.

If you are not familiar with Montaigne, we recommend How To Live -Or- A Life of Montaigne In One Question and Twenty Attempts At An Answer by Sarah Bakewell.

Dear Montaigne:

• The Cost of Ignorance and the Profits of Learning
