One Movie a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

172 Movies Teaching Us How To Live Life (Please note: this is a pre-order item, shipping starts October 5.) Cinema as a guide to life: for One Movie a Day Keeps the Doctor Away, Joost Joossen dived into the film archives in search of wisdom, insight, and inspiration. After much watching, weighing, and deliberating, he selected 172 films that each offer a unique perspective on how we love, how we make choices, and how we fall and get back up. In this book, Joost explores 52 of these films—one for every week of the year—in detail to distill 52 "prescriptions" for the reader to put into practice. From Lost in Translation to Back to the Future, and from The Worst Person in the World to The Godfather, each accompanied by delightful illustrations by Bart Kiggen. In addition, the book features 12 lists of 10 films each, centered around a specific challenge or life question, such as letting go, slowing down, or friendship. Joost Joossen is a freelance photographer with a passion for reading and writing. For twenty years, he has worked for magazines, newspapers, television, NGOs and advertising agencies. Joost is also a lecturer who gives inspiring workshops on looking, seeing, and being. He is the author of One Photo a Day Keeps the Doctor Away and The Little Book of Solitude.
