review 1: The book is the text of a commencement address David Foster Wallace presented at Kenyon College in 2005. Wallace gives the best reason for worship I've ever seen, and he offers the best reason for a liberal arts education: Yo learn to think consciously so that we can choose how we think about the myriad mundane adult experiences in life. I'll be sharing this little gem w/ many students and adults.
review 2: Biked to the library, saw this book, read it for the first time in a mere half hour, biked to work, thought about this book all day, got home, bought copies online for several loved ones and myself. Will reread. And never stop thinking about being aware. And choosing. Brilliant. Respectful of the individual. Succinct.Empowering. Love the graphic layout: it ... morewas originally delivered as a speech, not a book, but the way the sentences have been divided up on the pages replicates a live sort of emotional pacing. less
