Be Brief and Tell Them Everything by Brad Listi
5.0
This book reminded me of my favorite moments from MY STRUGGLE by Karl Ove Knausgaard, distilled. I’m sad that it took Listi a dozen years to write it, because I wish there were more books of his to read. Hopefully the next one comes quicker. It’s an absolute delight.
The raw moments of pain at the still birth of a child he explores, the doubts about his parenting style, about his writing. Every detail is so finely explored it feels like it is you living the story.
As someone who has explored psychedelics, I especially loved the deep exploration of psilocybin near the book's end.
