This approachable, psychologically astute, and deeply practical book has the potential to change all that. Reading it is well worth your time."—Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for M...

For centuries, the Feast of Fools has been condemned and occasionally celebrated as a disorderly, even transgressive Christian festival, in which reveling clergy elected a burlesque Lord of Misrule, presided over the divine office wearing animal masks or women's clothes, sang obscene songs, swung censers that gave off foul-smelling smoke, played dice at the altar, and otherwise parodied the liturgy of the church. Afterward, they would take to the streets, howling, issuing ...
