Ishmael Moved My Cheese!

Weekly Topic: Must-Read in Your 20s

Jack Detroit

Nov 10, 2020

This week's topic asks, what is a must read book when you are in your 20s? And the two books I recommend for 20 year olds of all ages are:

Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. GoodReads summarizes the book as..."a philosophical novel...examining the hidden cultural biases driving modern civilization and explores themes of ethics, sustainability, and global catastrophe. Largely framed as a Socratic conversation between two characters, Ishmael aims to expose that several widely accepted assumptions of modern society..."

Ishmael is a conversation between an American man and an ape. Yes, that's right. And they talk about how many of our ideas of what is "modern" might be wrong or worse!

I used to teach workshops on Who Moved My Cheese, by Dr. Spencer Johnson. On the cover, it is a business book about adapting. But at its heart, it is for everyone who is about to start a new and dramatic change in their life. Even if they don't feel prepared for that change.
This column was published by the author in their personal capacity.
The opinions expressed in this column are the author's own and do not reflect the view of Cafetalk.
