Oslo Davis has made a career of recording his observations of 'life in the city' for us all to enjoy. HisOverheard cartoons capture the hilarious and the crazy, banal and sillyness of everyday life. While Oslo snoops on what people are talking about, we get to reflect on, and laugh at, the crazy things that occupy people's minds. The daughter telling her mother not to interfere in party preparations, the fat man pondering what is least bad to eat, the hipster commenting on what is truly hip. No one escapes Oslo's eavesdropping. Indeed it could have been your conversation that he was listening in on as he wanders city streets...
A fantastic night of excellent songs accompanied by guitar and banjo. Everybody from 10 to 70+ years in attendance. An attentive and engaged audience. Humble and adept performers playing original songs. And surrounded by books! This venue is like having a concert in your lounge room. What's not to love?
I originally listened to this as an audiobook, but there were so many ideas and quotable quotes that I wanted to go back to that I quickly decided to buy my own printed copy!
I think this would make a really interesting book club text as a conversation starter between trusted friends who want to go deeper with one another, especially for those who are dissatisfied with the status quo and looking for a spirituality that engages meaningfully with key issues of our time.
I really enjoyed this book, especially as I read it after a recent visit to the beautiful, majestic Blue Mountains. The local references in the book made the story all the more engaging. A light easy read with an interesting plot. It’s not believable but that does not detract from the entertainment, it is after all a fictional novel.
Easy to deal with, quick, efficient & friendly service. Very happy with product
What an amazing night of music. We laughed, we pondered, and we felt the challenges that life brings us with these two wonderful songwriter/performers. 5 stars all round.

A rather chunky text with some fabulous ideas and highly informative explanations/ introductions. A colleague brought this book to my attention and I borrowed her copy. I had only read approx a quarter and decided that I needed my very own copy. This book needs time, focus and attention to be fully appreciated, absorbed and put into practice. I am definitely looking forward to learning more about creative ways to support mine and my children's mental health AND to encorporating suggestions from the authors into my daily/weekly/monthly routine. So far, the creative processes I have read about seem reasonably easy to implement. I think every household would benefit from this book!
