Weirdness, however, is an easily accessible antidote to these feelings of languishing. The quirky, eccentric, and peculiar can take us out of our normal habits of thought and perception, surprising us by breaking up our routines and reminding us that there's more to life than the everyday. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHow to Be Weird\u003c\/i\u003e, Eric G. Wilson offers 99 fun and philosophically rich exercises for embracing all the weird in the world around us--taking aimless walks, creating a reverie nook, exploring the underside of bridges, making tombstone rubbings, finding your own Narnia, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith brief digestible entries on how to make sense of the random, guidelines on how to defamiliarize familiar objects through meditation, and exercises for locating weird states and phenomena for ourselves, \u003ci\u003eHow to Be Weird\u003c\/i\u003e is an invitation to lean into the weird and to live a fuller life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                            \u003cp\u003eAuthor Bio: Eric G.
