Jeremy tried to be an interesting person. The trouble was that he was the kind of person who, having decided to be an interesting person, would first of all try to find a book called How to Be An Interesting Person and then see whether there were any courses available.

Summary

This quote humorously captures Jeremy's misguided attempt to become an interesting person. Rather than naturally cultivating his own unique interests and qualities, Jeremy seeks external resources like a self-help book or a course, hoping they will provide him with a formula for being interesting. The quote highlights the irony in his approach, suggesting that genuine interestingness comes from individuality and personal growth, rather than relying on prescribed methods or courses. It points out the importance of authentic self-discovery and embracing one's true passions and curiosities.
