    The cute and expressive Namuh tribe share a simple, but highly effective way, to avoid TALKING TO A PERSON (oh no!), but stay connected to your Buddies. The adorably fuzzy Namuhs know that everybody wants to be happy, to be loved, to be accepted exactly how they are, to have deep connections, and to belong. The Namuh tribe has watched the Humans use their screens to make up the life that they wished for others to see. They saw the Humans think that their made-up life story would endear others to them, have others like them, and to connect them to the tribe. They saw the Humans gradually get to where they:¿ Preferred texting over talking; ¿ Prayed others left a voicemail (or better yet a text) so they didn't have to TALK TO A LIVE PERSON (oh no!);¿ Hoped the cashier didn't small talk (or even look at them) so they could just put their credit card near the machine and leave;¿ Chose to communicate with others sitting right next to you via a screen;¿ Avoided eye contact with others;¿ Began to hate every other driver out there that was in their way, going too fast, or too slow; and¿ Had fewer close friends than they used to.The Namuhs saw that the more the Humans connected to their screen, the more fixated they became on the screen, the more disconnected they became from everything. The Humans stopped listening to their inner voice and their true nature. Their made-up lives were built on a lie, projected on the screen what they wished for others to see in us. In trying to protect their made-up story, to be liked and to belong, the Humans isolated themselves to the very screens where they made up their life story. Being playful and in the moment, the Namuhs build their lives on trust, vulnerability, and shared experiences as the very things that connect them to each other and all that is. The Namuhs live an authentic life and share their wisdom in simple stories to help the Humans connect more meaningfully. Screens entertain us, provide comfort, find us lovers and friends, and allow us to buy life's necessities. We no longer need to leave our homes or have access to other humans. Outside of (anti)social media, most of us would prefer to remain anonymous. Communication, like everything else in the life of a human, is a use of lose skill which is being lost. This book shares a cute and super simple technique to start to communicate again.In Buddy Check!, Oculos, the nerdy, thoughtful and resourceful Namuh, shares how two simple words via a screen can lead to more meaningful conversations.

You Tell the Stories You Need to Believe is an exploration of the meaning of life-as told through the cycles of the year, and the art that has been produced about each of the seasons. As Brown fans know, her distinctive sentences are reason enough to read her. One of the gifts of this book is getting to read about the artists who inspire her-from Melville to Denise Levertov, from Stravinsky to the Monkees. Not to mention the cunning and imaginative ways mythology and religion enter the mix.
