Review of 'Notes on a Nervous Planet' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. It's part memoir, part essay, part blog post.
First of all, the author does a great job at narrating it.
His personal stories add a lot of depth to the discussion: how can we be sane in a world that bombards us with information. It's a call to quieter lifestyle and makes us think about our standard behaviors. And it's all in the little things: watch the stars, observe the clouds, listen to the birds, read a book, appreciate music, have a conversation in person without looking at your phone.
Beautiful writing!
