Why read it?
1 author picked The Psychology of Making Life Interesting as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The title appeals to me, and the list of books I love is overwhelming. I’m rounding out my recs with this out-of-print, self-help book published in 1939 that I came across it in a second-hand bookstore. You can open the guide to almost any page and find something simple and deep, or if not, old phraseology like, Preventing Unwholesome Behavior Due to Tedium, is amusing. Technology may be changing the way people meet and how we process information, but we have most of the same emotional needs as before.
From Maddy's list on The best books about young people finding themselves without a phone.
