Reviews

[Ben · Rating 3 out of 5]

A lecture on recreation. The most interesting part is his account of bird watching with Theodore Roosevelt in England. It’s also fascinating to see someone make a case for leisure and seeking joy seeing as how these pursuits are so common now.

Only about 40 pages, but full of wonderful thoughts and a few anecdotes. Wisdom for a whole lifetime from a man who had a life well-lived. He has some pearls about books, too, of course.
