The Chairs Are Where the People Go: How to Live, Work, and Play in the City by Sheila Heti, Misha Glouberman
4.0
I found this book at work in the philosophy section and I thought, what good advice chairs are where the people go!
it's not really a philosophy book at all, strand shelves it as self help, but it's not at all a self help book either, really it's a book book, it's like a book of essays but done as an oral history. It's a guy (I assume misha is a guy...) who just does a lot of things talking about the way he sees the world. I like that, I like it a lot.
the book is mostly about people. how we interact, how we think, how we feel, what we need.
This week was my first week at my new job I was stressed I had no time to read ever, I even cried for hours one night, but I think reading this book helped a lot, it has a you are not alone aspect and it has a you can do it aspect, so it might have took me too long to read it but that's okay.
I also reread a chapter aloud to my friend and participant in my class at my new job, I think he liked it.
