Summary
Tommy Hensel was nineteen, a sophomore at Florida State, waiting on friends who never showed up. He wandered Spencer’s Gifts longer than he’d care to admit, then walked back into the restaurant and asked for a table for one. Nobody looked up. Nobody cared. The only person making it weird was him.
Forty years later, that small moment became Eating Adverbs, a book about the confidence and joy of doing things on your own.
What would you do if you stopped waiting for someone to join you? Think of the dinner reservation you keep putting off, the trip you keep planning with a friend who never commits, or the afternoon that could belong entirely to you.
Eating Adverbs is built around five kinds of adverbs - Time, Degree, Manner, Place, and Frequency. It moves from the hesitation of Later and Someday to the ease of Regularly and Always. Each chapter blends personal stories, research, and practical exercises, and treats independence as a skill you learn and practice until it stops feeling like a decision. Along the way, Tommy shares what solo travel has taught him (including one Christmas morning surf lesson in Costa Rica) and why gratitude turns time on your own into time well spent.
This audiobook is for you if you’ve been postponing experiences until someone else is free, if you’re working out what your life looks like after a big change, or if you already love doing things solo and want to go further.
Pull up a chair. This book will meet you there.
