The Most Useless Book

Language. Books. Words. We seek meaning from them, and we hope that they will change our lives. We hope that by reading yet another self-development-self-help-successful-author masterpiece, our lives will transform into a blossoming flower. This book is not that. In fact, all of the books are "not that".

This book is a dance, an art piece, an exploration of the unknown, an attempt to have a dialogue with you, the reader. It asks you to dedicate your time to something so utterly useless that perhaps it will loop in on itself and become useful. This book asks the deep questions, but also laughs at their uselessness. This book is about action, change, and "self-improvement," but it also asks you to do none of that, and provides you with an answer in two simple words (eventually, when the whole book is published, as the answer will be on page 142, line 6).

So, go ahead and skip this book. Or don't. Really, it is up to you, as my job as the author is not to convince you, but to experience my own life through the process of writing this book. That said, having a reader is a very special form of art and connection, so if you are still reading this, perhaps another few pages won't hurt.

^{Everything in life has a hidden, hardly noticeable quality to it. When we learn to perceive it, we uncover the ability to speak to the mystery of life. No, not some magical, spiritual, non-perceptible secret, but a very real, practical, and applicable skill. This book is about that, if anything at all.}
