The Wander Society

The Wander Society is the first, much-loved Keri Smith book dedicated to an adult audience. The book is back in a new format to lead readers to the creative revolution of everyday life. A guide to experimenting with everyday reality, to escaping routine, to the creative revolution of our habits.

How many times do we feel trapped in a reality that does not belong to us and a set of habits that we cannot change? Let us free ourselves, the time has come to join the Wander Society, the imaginary (perhaps...) community of wanderers and vagabonds who make wandering their manifesto, their favourite and primary activity. Through the theories of illustrious imaginary professors, well-known literary examples and above all practical exercises, Keri Smith aims to shift our point of view, leading us towards a more total, personal and free perception of the world.

Wandering as an act of reflection, as a return to the self and its real needs, walking around to take possession of reality, to lose oneself, to break out of the cage of imposed activities, to revolutionise reality by making it truly our own. Little by little, the wanderer's point of view changes, becomes free, learning to observe with new eyes. And everything seems possible again.

The Wander Society is part of the Visual Essays series, a collection of books for those seeking new visual cues for looking at reality.
