how to live and to be lived?

Model sentence: Having been studying in falcuty of Love and Happiness in Japan for 5 years, he wrote the books of how to live and to be lived.

"teach someone how to be lived"? Have you ever heard that. I know just one object of the verb "live", which is "life", for example "to live a happy life". Please tell me if the model sentence is incorrect. Thanks in advance.
