The Yearn: the Search for Authenticity and Connection:
The Yearn encourages readers to probe their sense of identity in a confounding era of doubt. By building a base of self-awareness, we equip ourselves to adapt to uncertainty.
The Yearn is a compendium of questions and notes to a series of intriguing questions, some profound, some personal and some quirky, about the lessons individuals have learned that deepen their understanding of what the French call 'la condition humaine.'
Indications of the extraordinariness of the moment are everywhere. You might call it a transformative moment. In an era of Covid-disruption and attacks on truthiness, the idea of The Yearn is to show the triumph of what might be called ordinary or personal wisdom.
The pandemic has led us to question many of society's conventions. Being 'real' is increasingly revered in a Covid-wacked world that longs for transparency and disclosure. Social networking sites are designed to encourage shallow interactions but The Yearn plays to the search to find meaning, connection and wisdom in our individual stories.
