The Chairs Are Where the People Go: How to Live, Work, and Play in the City

In short, pithy chapters, Misha Glouberman tells us what he has learned about life, tackling the most trivial of questions alongside the more important ones and revealing that they have more in common than you might think. Dictating his thoughts to friend and Trampoline Hall creator Shelia Heti, Misha has put together a collection on subjects ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. From thoughts about conflict resolution in the Middle East to observations about loud music in rowdy neighbourhoods, The Chairs Are Where the People Go is an invigorating, entertaining handbook for the times we live in.
