Summary
“Your job isn’t what makes you interesting, your hobby is.”- Karen Walrond Check out my conversation with the delightful Karen Walrond , author of the brand new book In Defense of Dabbling: The Brilliance of Being a Total Amateur . For her book, Karen tried out seven new hobbies — everything from pottery to surfing to piano playing — to show readers how to do the same. She even provides a list of over 200 hobbies others might want to try — all in the interest of tuning out, tapping into ourselves, and finding joy.
