A guidebook for beating the monotony of the everyday by
purposefully cultivating the surprising joys that come from living
an off-kilter life It's all too easy to get caught up in the often
monotonous nature of our day to day--moving from one rote task to
the next, only to rinse and repeat the next day. Weirdness,
however, is an easily accessible antidote to these feelings of
languishing. The quirky, eccentric, and peculiar can take us out of
our normal habits of thought and perception, surprising us by
breaking up our routines and reminding us that there's more to life
than the everyday. In How to Be Weird, Eric G. Wilson offers 99 fun
and philosophically rich exercises for embracing all the weird in
the world around us--taking aimless walks, creating a reverie nook,
exploring the underside of bridges, making tombstone rubbings,
finding your own Narnia, and more. With brief digestible entries on
how to make sense of the random, guidelines on how to defamiliarize
familiar objects through meditation, and exercises for locating
weird states and phenomena for ourselves, How to Be Weird is an
invitation to lean into the weird and to live a fuller life.
