⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time' written by Shelia Liming is very much a book of our times.
This non-fiction book broaches the recent problems of people adapting to time without lockdowns and restrictions. It is probably a book that many of us did not consider we would ever need to read, but who does not know someone with some social anxieties that have resulted from time spent at home when you could only go out for essential journeys.
The book looks at many social situations we may encounter ranging from work, to social events to settings such as the internet, which our ancestors may have been horrified to see as a social situations, but still is now a common social environment.
It also covers topics such as when its okay to stop interactions if they have reached that time or how to stand up to forms of interaction that are inappropriate and destructive.
Throughout this well researched and intelligently written book are references from film and literature and this adds to the dimension of the book and you are sure to come away with books or films that you wish to see.
It is a well written and caring book that will benefit any who read it. You may find yourself wanting to explore the great outdoors in company or even look at how you interact online but there is certainly something for everyone.
Its captavitaing and follows a logical sequence and concludes with as much care as it is carefully written with tips in how to move forward and improve your interactions whilst still taking care of yourself.
A recommended and worthwhile book that everyone will get something out of, even if you avoid social interactions in its many forms.
Thank you to the author and publisher in allowing me to read this worthwhile book.
