"A thought-provoking look into how we live."
A thought-provoking look into how we live. ‘Isn't It Kind of Funny That?’ by Jerry Schaefer uses the title question as well as a range of other variations to explore the way humans live in order to questions the status quo and hopefully inspire a change.
With quirky and entertaining images and graphics all asking “isn’t it funny/strange/mind boggling” that humans act the way we do/depend on what we do/ think of ourselves in a certain way, some of the most mundane things in our everyday lives are called into question. Each chapter focuses on one specific area of modern life, with the intention of making the reader think differently about their lives, or not think at all in some cases, in order to make ourselves more aligned with the universe.
While posing hypothetical and grand views of a world changed, a world without cars for example, I think the main takeaway of this book is the inspiration and encouragement to lead more simplistic lives, to be less self-centred and involved in our own thoughts and more aware and considerate of the world around us. This is a quick-read and can offer motivation to look outwards, to others and the rest of the world instead of being wrapped up in your own thoughts as well as to be more mindful in our day to day lives.
