Agnostic: A Spirited Manifesto by Lesley Hazleton

challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

4.0

This book has too many threads and tangents to be a proper manifesto, but semantics aside, this is a challenging but rewarding read about the mindset of an agnostic.  Exploring themes such as belief, faith, doubt, death, and the soul, Hazleton illustrates that being agnostic isn't about shying away from picking a side, but rather embracing the mystery of, well, everything.  I came away from the book equating agnosticism with a kind of wisdom; it's much easier to lean into certainties than it is to sit with the discomfort of not knowing, of being open to so many possibilities.  But it's also incredibly rewarding to learn to exist in that space.
