About howtolive.guide
howtolive.guide is a navigator for adult life — a curated library of human wisdom, enhanced by the living experience of a community.
We believe that the most important knowledge about life is rarely taught in schools. How to handle emotions, money, relationships, time, career — these are things we figure out on our own, often through painful mistakes.
What we do
We collect, curate, and structure practical wisdom about life. Each piece of advice on this site has been carefully selected for its clarity, honesty, and real-world applicability.
How it works
- Browse by category to explore different areas of life
- Read the advice of the day for daily inspiration

Our principles
No toxic positivity. No esoteric nonsense. No information noise. Only concrete, human, applicable wisdom.
The feeling we aim for — like a conversation with a wise older friend who has already walked this path.
Who makes this
howtolive.guide is created by Pavel Volkov — a fullstack developer building a fleet of web products: SEO-driven content platforms, AI tools, and gaming media, shipping the full cycle solo from product and code to infrastructure and analytics. You can also find him on GitHub and Telegram.
