The Hedonism Handbook: Mastering the Lost Arts of Leisure and Pleasure by Michael Flocker
5.0
Five years ago, I sat on a quiet North Shore Kauai beach with a book entitled Bohemian Manifesto in hand. By the time I closed the back cover, I finally knew what label to slap on myself...and experienced a newfound sense of kinship with a totally unorganized tribe. Today, thanks to this book, I can tack "Hedonist" onto the end. Okay, probably redundant but what the heck.
This is a light, fun, but ultimately profound read by a guy who GETS IT. What's "it"? "It" is what life is all about. Having just returned from Burning Man, I'm convinced this guy is a Burner. If not, he needs to be recruited. See, burners grasp the value of play, of love, of seizing the moment. They realize, like the author, that life is fleeting and will be over before we know it. It's begging to be lived...not just for the sake of money, but for the sake of our souls.
