The process of distilling such an abstract and expansive topic down into a book is no easy feat, and Akiko Busch was generous enough to come on the Secret Library and discuss her experience writing How to Disappear. Her episode will be live as of 04 April via the link below.

A fascinating study about how we need to be alone with our thoughts. Reflection is going away in the glare of constant input and total lack of privacy.

Full of wisdom and sharp observations, this is a vital book for our times.
