my grandma just passed away. And I’ve been trying to make sense of a lot of things, I found myself lost at times and times happy, sad, busy, and when I found this book at first, I started reading it before my grandma passed away and somehow now it makes more sense maybe making more sense it’s not the right words to describe what I feel, but allows me to connect in a deeper way with her or with my self.

Purchased this book to support the creator behind Pursuit of Wonder. The book did not disappoint. It's a bitter sweet, comforting read because I can relate to the author and the fictional character.

Incredible. Best read of the year, hands down.
My mom died six months ago after battling breast cancer for seven years. She was my person. I’ll never forget the first time she grabbed my hand, crying between breaths, asking me if she was going to die. I was 23 and knew nothing. I’ll never forget the last time my hands held hers, as she took her last breath. I am 30 now; I still know nothing. But what I do know is that in the past six months I have struggled tremendously—desperate to find the words I want to say, desperate to know what words I need to hear.
The pain and suffering of loss is ineffable. We often don’t know what to say when we are forced to interact with death, despite it being an inevitable part of all of us—whether it is our own, or that of another. Pantano’s novel relays, pokes, and proves at this paradox beautifully. His profound honesty serves to remind us all to examine and re-examine: who we are; why we think, act, and believe the way we do; why (or if) that matters; where to go from there, if anywhere; and how to find meaning where there is none. Robert lets us into his mind, in real time, alongside his every...

I found a lot of ideas I've had in the past and still do today in this book. Up until recently, I just was not sure if this existence really is pointless and an illusion that I could not accept, or if it's my brain protecting itself from the anxiety of living and it creates this pseudo-reality in my head that everything is an illusion so as to not experience the same suffering I did in the past. The author portrayed the extent to which the brain will go to to detach itself from emotional suffering, especially in his last paragraphs.
Like my boy Aldia from Dark Souls said: "All men trust fully the illusion of life, until the curse touches their flesh". Although the author seemed to have been aware of the illusion of life before he got diagnosed, he still could not escape living in that illusion until the "curse" touched his flesh. Same as me, same as everyone else. Once you have no tomorrows left, that is precisely when you start living.
There's hope to be found in pessimism. For some of us, it seems to be the only way to let go of all our anxieties and fears, and experience life truly for the enriching experience that it is, while we still have...

This book, like all the work done on the YouTube channel of the author, is really good.
It goes into the deepest part of existence and the philosophy of it. Why death matters as much as life and what can we do to make both more valuable to us. It's a beautiful read with plenty of wisdom. I would recommend it to anyone ready to think about their own experience of self and of death.
