Life in Five Senses

How Exploring the Senses Got Me Out of My Head and Into the World

By: Gretchen Rubin

Narrated by: Gretchen Rubin

Internationally bestselling author Gretchen Rubin's tour of the five senses, finding happiness through sight, sound, touch, taste and scent.

Gretchen Rubin has spent over a decade exploring the different routes to happiness and contentment. But she realised that by focussing so much on the mind, she was missing out on the physical experience of being human. If we don't engage with our senses, time passes without us fully experiencing it.

So this audiobook will take you on a journey through the five senses, to help you get out of your head and into your life. With exercises to enhance your appreciation of food and nature, or sharpen your memory by learning to see more clearly, Life in Five Senses is a handbook for exploring the world more fully, and getting to know yourself along the way.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An Interesting perspective for getting out of your head

I really enjoy Gretchen’s voice. I loved some of the ideas in the book but there are some views I find difficult to enjoy - like the undercurrent of “bad foods” and fat phobia. It’s subtle but there and made me slightly uncomfortable. Overall the book was a really good look at the five sense and I enjoyed it.
