This is a collection of eight autobiographical visual essays that explore the joys and pains of living in a hypercomplex and uncertain world. In her sprawling and colorful style, Sarah Firth pursues some of life\'s deepest philosophical questions about happiness, hope, love, sex, death, truth, reality, and the definition of \'self.\' She weaves together a mix of great ideas and silly ones deriving not only from her own lived experience, but also from her daydreams, pop culture memes, and the teachings of science, philosophy, and history. Her musings ultimately lead her to consider how to live more joyously in a troubling world, and how to be more compassionate towards oneself, others, and the planet. (W/A) Sarah Firth
