If I was posting about it, below the pilcrow, you’d see a few paragraphs about the book:
How to Think: A Survival Guide for a World at Odds
by Alan Jacobs
Uncorrected Proof, 156 pg.
Convergent Books, 2017
Read: October 3, 2017
But now, I just can’t. I’m really surprised I read this all in one day, but there’s something very engaging about this book that you can’t put it down. It’s much more fun than you’d think from the title. But one of the things Jacobs stresses is taking time to think — and this is one of those books I have to ponder about before putting down any thoughts.
(which works out nicely, because I’m beat, and this helps to justify taking a night off — but really, I need to think about it).
(and yes, I also realize that this isn’t exactly the point he’s making — but you’ll have to read the thing to see how much I’m twisting his point)
I’ll try tomorrow, but for the time being: go order this before it comes out and give it a read. Whatever I end up posting will be very positive.
