About this listen

Producer, editor, and writer behind the highly addictive, informative, and popular YouTube channel The Nerdwriter, Evan Puschak presents “a brilliant, wide-ranging essay collection that explores meaning and how we make it with the thoughtfulness and open-hearted generosity that have long been hallmarks of Puschak’s writing” (John Green, New York Times bestselling author).

As YouTube’s The Nerdwriter, Evan Puschak plays the polymath, posing questions and providing answers across a wide range of fields—from the power of a split diopter shot in Toy Story 4 to the political dangers of schadenfreude. Now, he brings that same insatiable curiosity and striking wit to this engaging and unputdownable essay collection.

Perfect for fans of Trick Mirror and the writing of John Hodgman and Chuck Klosterman, Escape into Meaning is “a passionate, perceptive” (Hua Hsu, author of Stay True) compendium of fascinating insights into obsession. Whether you’re interested in the philosophy of Jerry Seinfeld or how Clark Kent is the real hero, there’s something for everyone in this effervescent collection.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Evan's essays shed light on mundane topics and thoughts in a way that is inspiring and refreshing. As he said himself hearing ones's own ideas put clearly into phrases that crystallize what one thought all along is extremely satisfying. Stronk recommend, excellent additional sources to dive into more!

This book is full of great essays, but the last essay on writing the book is worth the price of this entire volume.

Perfect timing

After watching all episodes of the nerd writer obsessively on loop since about 2016 I am super satisfied with this book, specially the audio version. It’s like having an excellently crafted video essay playing between my ears!

Thanks Evan for the great work, and more specifically the two closing essays. Creativity is one of the hardest forms of self-critical meditation, and it’s damn hard.. forever… Thank you..

Excellent!
