How to Be Interesting (in 10 Simple Steps)

By Jessica Hagy This is a cool book. I don’t know how else to describe it. The back of the book (which unfortunately you can’t see online, so here is a picture for you) is even cool. Yep, the back promises “how to live at the intersection of wonder, awe, and curiosity.” Doesn’t that sound
