About this listen

The writer and creator of the YouTube channel and production house Pursuit of Wonder brings you his debut book, Notes from the End of Everything.

After being diagnosed with a brain tumor, writer John Gallo spends his time confronting his lifelong sense of fraudulence, regret, and self-misunderstanding, all while loosely chronicling the development of his cancer.

Formed out of a collection of journal-like essays posthumously discovered on his computer, we follow Gallo’s mind as he ruminates on concepts and theories of time, being, death, anxiety, creativity, despair, isolation, happiness, wonder, absurdity, and other eternal themes of life — big and small.

The work carries a tone of existentialism as well as a culmination of other complimentary and sometimes contradictory philosophies that meld into a modern, accessible take that is simultaneously dark and hopeful.

The story is incredibly heartfelt. Despite it being the notes of a dying man, it talks about his thoughts, including confusions and answers he's found along the way, giving us a chance contemplate about more about our own life. It doesn't give the answer to solve the problem of life, but it doesn't try to. The story gives us a lot of food for thoughts.

An amazing and heartfelt story

The narration was the worst part. Each sentence with the same intonation. No dynamics in the voice. On and on it goes like reading a shopping list. Lost all emotion for me despite the nice philosophical thoughts and overall pleasant book.

Good book, bad narration
