I definitely thought this was going to be a book about putting your phone down and doing hobbies/self-care. That's only a small portion of it. It's about so much more: noticing and listening to the environment, questioning the status quo of productivity and “hustle culture,” and challenging systems of oppression and power. I read this at an interesting time having finished Braiding Sweetgrass a month or so ago - the author talks a lot about the book - and watching Everything, Everywhere All at Once. These three pieces work so well together and have given me a lot to think about meaning and value.

I loved it so much and recommend it to anyone who is a human.
