Reisen zu gehen ist eines der wenigen Dinge, die wir unternehmen, um uns selbst glücklich zu machen - und oft, auf faszinierende Weise, scheitern wir. Uns wird langweilig, verärgert, ängstlich oder einsam. Es überrascht nicht, dass unsere Gesellschaften so tun, als ob das Reisen einfach wäre, nur ein Fall der Übergabe der richtigen Geldsumme. Aber eine befriedigende Reise ist nicht etwas, das wir einfach kaufen können: Sie ist das Ergebnis von Kunst, die gelernt werden muss.
Das Buch "How to travel" von The School of Life ist der Leitfaden: nicht zu irgendjemandem, sondern zum Reisen im Allgemeinen. Es spricht mit uns unter anderem darüber, wie wir uns einen Ort aussuchen sollen, was wir tun könnten, wenn wir dort ankommen, wie wir uns einen guten Moment in Erinnerung behalten sollten und warum Hotelzimmer so befreiende Orte sein können.....
In einer Reihe von genialen Essays werden wir zu Studenten eines unerwarteten, aber lebenswichtigen Themas: wie man einige der schönsten Erfahrungen unseres Lebens versteht und besser genießen kann (was sein sollte). Dazu gehören eine Reihe von Quizfragen und praktischen Übungen, die uns helfen, das Gelernte zu reflektieren, sowie Raum für die Aufzeichnung unserer eigenen Gedanken und Beobachtungen von überall dort, wo wir uns befinden.
Aufsätze beinhalten:
- So wählen Sie ein Ziel aus
- Was ist "exotisch"?
- Die Bedeutung der Sonne
- Das Vergnügen des Flughafens
- Die Sehnsucht, mit Fremden zu sprechen.
- Das kleine Restaurant
- Zeichnen statt Fotografieren
- Die Vorteile des Aufenthaltes zu Hause

Wonderful middle grade book
Format: Hardcover
This book is part historical fiction and part sci-fi. I bought because we like getting the Newberry award winner every year. We loved this story. It was fun read a book placed when I was kid and see/show my kids how much the world has changed, but it also had a fun time travel element. This coming of age follows a kid and his worries about Y2k. He deals with the death of a friend and worries about everything. We loved this story and it's special sections back i to the future making it easy to believe that time travel is real.

Fantastic
Format: Kindle
Time travel books are fun. You have to wrap your head around how they work out in the end. This time travel book sort of sneaks up on you, in that other things are going on while Ridge, the time traveler, is checking out 1999.
For those who were alive in 1999, we all worried about Y2K, when all the computers would stop working. Scientists worked hard to make sure that it wouldn’t, and at the time, only one bank had trouble after the new year began. Other than that, we were all fine, and life went on.
Micheal, is obsessed with Y2K, and when he learns that Ridge is from the future, it is all he wants to know about, and Ridge can’t tell him, as the event is too close. He can tell him how he got his name, and a little about how life is like in the future, but that is about it.
But Ridge is the first time traveler, and he has no idea if anything he says will change things, so he has to be very careful. He has no idea what he will find when she returns home, and so worries about everything he says.
I really enjoyed this book. I marked several passages that spoke to me. And even the title is such a good thing to bring up and explain, in that it means living in the present time. Not worrying about the future or the past.

Brilliant
Format: Hardcover
The First State of Being is a brilliant, highly readable middle grade book from the QUEEN of character-driven middle grade literature. This expansive sci-fi feels at once introspective and cinematic, leaping off the page like something made for a movie. This book will help young people and all readers reflect on our past and future as a human community, especially in terms of health advances, animal extinction, and the potential for technological development. It also highlights the love and fight in a mother and the need to view life through a positive lens by focusing most on the present, not our past or future.

Which Came First?
Format: Hardcover
Of course this won the Newberry award. From the first word, it reminded me of Donna Barba Higuera's The Last Cuentista. A plot so different and imaginative that you wonder how anyone could have thought of it and then carried it out. It's a story of a young boy who is trying to take care of the single mother who seems unable to take care of the family, through no fault of her own. It's a sci-fi fantasy. And it's a story of taking care of each other. At the totally satisfying end I found myself wondering about the chicken and the egg. Thinking I may have to read this one again to see if I can figure it out.
