Astonish Yourself by Roger-Pol Droit
Say your name aloud to yourself in a quiet room. Imagine peeling an apple in your mind. Take the subway without trying to get anywhere. The simple meditations in this book have the potential to shake us awake from our preconceived certainties: our own identity, the stability of the outside world, the meanings of words. At once entertaining and startling, irreverent and wise, this book will provoke moments of awareness for readers in any situation and in all walks of life. Enter the space of your favorite painting. Watch someone sleeping. The world won't look the same again.Roger-Pol Droit is a philosopher and a journalist for Le Monde. He works at the Centre National pour la Recherche Scientifique in Paris. 101 Experiences de philosophie quotidienne is his most recent work.
