A Deviation of Course

This blog is devoted to TV, one of my favorite media. But life is not something quite so easy to fragment and compartmentalize. Thus, I have elected to deviate from our usual course and share with you something that I found eminently worthwhile; something capable of piercing my veil of misanthropy and enlivening my soul in a way I forgot possible; in a way that even TV cannot. I recently had the pleasure of reading a little-known gem of a book, published in small numbers, and hardly circulated. The book is called The Well of Being: a children's book for adults (written by Jean-Pierre Weill and available here). I would not want to rob you of the journey that this book promises to embark you upon with my own musings and reflections, so I will resist the urge to pummel you with my analyses. But rest assured that this book has layers upon layers and something for everyone - that is, everyone who values thoughtful living. To put it simply, this book is music for the brain. I hope you will take the opportunity to explore for yourself everything that The Well of Being offers, in the meantime please enjoy a preview of the book in the video embedded below.
