A review by mcchampion
The Art of the Wasted Day by Patricia Hampl

reflective medium-paced

4.0

The author was recently widowed when writing the book, as was I reading it.  I particularly liked the part at the end reflecting on a poem that ends "I have wasted my life".  I feel like that at some level, but loved author's reflections integrating the different interpretations of the poem to the "lean into daydreaming" theme of the book.  

This book also led me to my next non-fiction read "How to Live" by Sarah Bakewell
