- **Event Description**: Join Book Culture on Thursday, March 12th at 7pm for a reading and discussion to celebrate the release of The Terrible Paradox of Self-Awareness with the author, Robert Pantano.Whether we realize it or not, all of us experience the pain of self-awareness. In an age when we are aware of so much—about ourselves and the world—this pain can be overwhelming. But the same awareness that causes us pain also opens the door to beauty and wonder. This is the paradox of self-awareness.In a series of poignant aphorisms and short essays, Robert Pantano offers nuanced approaches to confronting, understanding, and living within this paradox. Rather than pretending to provide certainty or easy answers, this thought-provoking collection offers ideas and space for reflection—for living well and finding comfort and peace without clear solutions.Focusing on major issues of today such as personal alienation, nihilism, the futility of progress, and the malleability of truth, as well as on timeless struggles such as desire, anxiety, aging, and death, this work explores powerful philosophical and psychological ideas in an impressively succinct and memorable way.Robert Pantano is the founder and writer behind the popular philosophy and self-development YouTube channel, Pursuit of Wonder. He is the author of several self-published books, including The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence and The Art of Living an Absurd Existence.​​​​​​​
