On Life in Five Senses
Rubin, Gretchen. Life in Five Senses: How Exploring the Senses Got Me Out of My Head and Into the World. New York: Crown, 2024. pp. xiii + 250. eBook. $10.99.
This is a fun, easy read on Rubin’s experiment in living more fully through the five senses. The sections on touch left a lot to be desired, but her experience reflects some of my own — and one small thing I took from it: I now keep all my technology in grayscale mode, which has gone a long way toward keeping me from fixating on it.
