Escape into Meaning

Reading Escape into Meaning isn’t meant for those who have made skimming a habit; Puschak writes his thoughts and experiences in depth from a vulnerable spot that he is willing to share with others; therefore, the reader must be prepared to give up part of themselves to fully grasp what Puschak is offering. He begins his saga with his exposure to the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, an influential jack of all trades when it comes to pen and paper, as well as skilled with public speaking, and how forty minutes of reading his work brought about an awakening in Puschak that caused him to reexamine values and what he had been taught was correct. Puschak writes about obsessions that surround us that consume us, such as the internet and social media, movies, popularity, and government and environmental issues in a concise and researched manner; he speaks on a variety of topics and brings everything to the same spot, so the reader will have their options of what specifically or generally they may choose to focus on.
