In an era where it’s easy to take things for granted, the goal of Blue Hills Press is to help you take back the knowledge and satisfaction that comes from doing things yourself and understanding the things that bring you joy. Whether it’s controlling the food you cook and consume, better understanding the music you love, or creating and interacting items you encounter everyday, being engaged in what we do enriches our lives. An old Buddhist poem posits this advice: Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. At Blue Hills Press, we agree. But, hey, even if we’re wrong and you don’t reach enlightenment, at least you’ve got wood and water. And, hopefully, you’ve learned to enjoy yourself along the way.
