📚 Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time (2023)

A smart and empowering book about the simple art of hanging out … and of taking back our social lives from the deadening whirl of contemporary life.

Loneliness is an epidemic; it feels harder than ever to connect with others meaningfully. What can we do to remedy this?

With the introduction of AI and constant Zoom meetings, our lives have become more fractured, digital and chaotic. Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time shows us what we have lost to the frenetic pace of digital life and how to get it back.

Hanging Out shows how simple acts of casual connection are the glue that binds us together, and how community is the antidote to the disconnection and isolation that dominates contemporary life.
