When the World Loses Its Shimmer
Have you noticed how hard it is to finish a book lately? How birthdays feel like just another day, how you scroll endlessly but absorb nothing, how time itself seems to behave strangely-clustering in dark corners, looping back on itself? You're not alone in this peculiar emptiness. Katherine May's "Enchantment" names what many of us have been feeling but couldn't quite articulate: we've lost our capacity for wonder. Not the manufactured amazement of viral videos or Instagram sunsets, but something deeper-an ability to truly engage with the world around us. May, diagnosed with autism in adulthood and emerging from burnout, doesn't offer productivity hacks or mindfulness apps. Instead, she invites us on a journey through earth, water, fire, and air to rediscover what she calls enchantment: that small wonder magnified through meaning, an essential nutrient found only when we dig into our own soil of experience. This isn't depression-there's no self-loathing or destructive urges. It's something stranger: a difficulty engaging with anything substantial, an attention that slides away despite genuine desire, a feeling of flickering rather than existing solidly in the world. Friends describe similar states, attributing it to pandemic exhaustion, political upheaval, or that catch-all term: burnout. But what we're really experiencing is disenchantment-a disconnection from meaning itself. In our age of constant distraction and mounting anxiety, this book arrives like medicine for a sickness we didn't know how to diagnose.
