Daniel welcomes humorist Andy Selsberg, former staff writer for The Onion, author of "The Jottery: Thought Experiments for Everyday Philosophers and Part-Time Geniuses." This book goes above & beyond the "Mad Libs" of our childhood by asking us to engage our creativity by presenting questions & suggestions such as "You create something called Soul Lotion. What are the best places to rub it? (Don’t limit your answer to human body parts.)" Or "List twelve things you can have instead of “it all.” Selsberg, who teaches English at John Jay College, explains how these exercises can also spark the creativity of writing students.
