Notes from the End of Everything

De: Robert Pantano

Narrado por: Robert Pantano

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.

Nobody else does it better

Robert has been a favorite author of mine for a few years now, I own each of his books. There is nobody that creates better philosophical stories & insights. I feel a sense of such relief listening to or reading them, and above that, his narration is just incredible. Best of the best — thank you!

All time favorite!

Loved it. I haven't felt so related to in all my life. Thank you for the amazing feeling of feeling understood and not alone.

Robert Pantano, you’ve done it again!

When words fall flat at the true meaning of things, it is hard to express just how much this story made me feel and pushed me to explore the depths of my vices, I explored this work as I explore all Robert Pantano works, watching the sun set over the bay while simultaneously enjoying the last warmth the sun has to offer for the day. The ways the story makes you truly interpret the man’s life and compare it to your own in depth and with complete honesty is something I didn’t know was possible. I look forward to the next!

Relatable

So much of this book was things or thoughts I've heard or had that have changedmy life, but could never quite remember because I internalize them so thoroughly. I would highly recommend.

I love this book

I love this book its a great transference of media on part of the author love his YouTube channel Pursuit of Wonder

Philosophical Fiction

As a fan of the author’s youtube channel, this book is a great summary of his philosophy in life. It’s a morbid, gritty reality that many people don’t even realize they need. It’s also a quick read. I would recommend this to anyone, as I feel everyone can benefit from it. The combination of philosophy and fiction really bring it home for me. It’s thought provoking and fun to listen to. 5 stars.

Enjoyed listening to author

Definitely worth purchasing. I found the book to be very eye opening and exhilarating. Thank you

One of the best books I've ever read

I complete hundreds of audiobooks each year, and I encounter plenty of "Good" ones and maybe a few "great ones." Then there's books like this. At the time I'm writing this review, I'm not sure how widely-known this book is, but people will still be reading it long into the future. I know this, because it was so good, I stopped half-way through my first listen and started over again. That's how good it was. If I had to compare it to anything, it's Bukowski meets Vonnegut meets Louis Ferdinand Celine, and even that doesn't quite capture it. I kept bookmarking parts of it, but each line is a bookmark. Ok, enough gushing. Narration was great. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will keep rereading it over the years.

we all live the same lives

I always enjoy the work by "pursuit of wonder" on YouTube, as Robert Pantano has a great voice. while listening to John Gallo's notes its easy to lose yourself in his words. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys philosophy, existentialism, and literature.
