Sitcom is about how to live well (8)
I believe the answer is:
stoicism
'to live well' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'sitcom is about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'sitcom'+'is'='sitcomis'
'sitcomis' anagrammed gives 'STOICISM'.
'how' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stoicism that I've seen before include "Endurance of hardship without complaint" , "Patient acceptance of suffering and misfortune" , "Uncomplaining fortitude" , "phlegm?" , "Resignation" .)
