“A daily dose of joy and wisdom. Just what we need to chase the gloom away!” – OLIVIA COLMAN
Have you ever wondered…
What exactly is cryptocurrency?
Where is the world’s smallest sea?
What would happen if I found myself in a black hole?
Why do we put perfume on our pulse points?
Would Mr Darcy make a good life partner?
Are Danish pastries Danish?
What does it mean to apricate?
Is everything getting worse?
Happily, E. Foley and B. Coates have curated A Year of Living Curiously, a book of daily shots of knowledge that will lift your spirits and expand your mind in a flash. In 365 joyfully random, utterly fascinating entries, you’ll learn what the Japanese mean by ‘kuchisabishii’ and how the Victorians communicate through flowers; you’ll start to get quantum computing and discover the secret history of the bobble hat. There are tales of soccer-playing bees and Viking mice, the beginning of the thesaurus and the end of the library of Alexandria. Filled with words you didn’t know you needed and wisdom you’ll never forget, A Year of Living Curiously is a brilliant almanac of curious treasure.
Spend just two minutes a day with this book and you’ll end your year full of wonder and just that little bit wiser.
