Summary:
"For more than a decade, Gretchen Rubin had been studying happiness and human nature. Then, one day, a visit to her eye doctor made her realize that she'd been overlooking a key element of happiness: her
five
senses
. She'd spent so much time stuck in her
head
that she'd allowed the vital sensations of
life
to slip away, unnoticed. This epiphany lifted her from a state of foggy preoccupation
into
a
world
rediscovered by seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching. In this revelatory journey of self-experimentation, she explores the mysteries and joys of the
five
senses
as a path to a happier, more mindful
life
. Drawing on cutting-edge science, philosophy, literature, and her own efforts to practice what she learns, she investigates the profound power of tuning in to the physical
world
. From the simple pleasures of appreciating the magic of ketchup and adding favorite songs to a playlist, to more adventurous efforts like creating a daily ritual of visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art and attending flavor university, Rubin show us
how
to experience each day with depth, delight, and connection. In the rush of daily
life
, she finds, our
five
senses
offer us an immediate, sustainable way to cheer up, calm down, and engage the
world
around us -- as well as a way to glimpse the soul and touch the transcendent. A '
Life
in
Five
Senses
' is an absorbing, layered story of discovery filled with insights and practical suggestions about
how
to heighten our
senses
and use our powers of perception to live fuller, richer lives-and, ultimately,
how
to move through the
world
with more vitality and love."--From publisher.
