A review by maggies
The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig

reflective slow-paced

5.0

Meditative. Listening to the audiobook was a bit like ASMR. My favorites:
  • ozurie – feeling torn between the life you want and the life you have
  • proluctance – the paradoxical urge to avoid doing something you’ve been looking forward to; perpetually waiting around for the right state of mind, stretching out the bliss of anticipation as long as you can
  • hanker sore - finding a person so attractive it actually kinda pisses you off
  • wytai (acronym of When You Think About It) - a feature of modern civilization that suddenly strikes you as absurd and grotesque
