Max van Manen presents an extensively revised version of Phenomenology of Practice: Meaning-Giving Methods in Phenomenological Research and Writing, offering a lucid, approachable, and comprehensive approach to phenomenological practice. Phenomenology of practice pertains to the interpretation of experiences that hold significance for individuals engaged in professional endeavors, such as psychology, healthcare, education, and everyday life contexts. A notable aspect of this update is the prominent role of examples, anecdotes, stories, and vignettes, as well as the utilization of fictionalized empirical fragments, in elucidating the unknowable. Consequently, the various chapters are enriched with numerous intelligible examples of phenomenological essays and explorations on ordinary and extraordinary topics. These examples demonstrate the applicability of a phenomenological method to examine virtually any lived experience or event. Max van Manen offers insightful portrayals of profound insights by renowned phenomenologists. He identifies and delineates a diverse range of phenomenological orientations that are actively pursued and relevant in contemporary times.

This book holds relevance for scholars, students, and enthusiastic readers with an interest in delving into the foundational meanings and methodologies of phenomenological human science inquiry. Max van Manen's comprehensive work is of utmost importance to all individuals concerned with the interplay between being and acting, mindfulness and tact, in the realm of human sciences research and the phenomenology of everyday life.
