This is a discussion topic for the June 2025 Book of the Month, "Anticipation Day: What Would You Do?" by Jeff Michelson

Would you participate in an "Anticipation Day" program?

I'd like to ask for a Star Trek-like journey in space.

I'm really not sure, if I am being honest. I will have to give it a thorough thought before committing.

Well, I'm not very sure I would won't want to. It feels kinda scary but then let life come as it is, I believe I can learn every lesson I need to. People will have their own reasons but I'm not very sure I do.

I'm not sure I'd want to participate. The concept is interesting, but I think it would change how I live in a way that might not be entirely positive.

I recently picked up this 'No "No's" policy. So I'll definitely give it a try.

There is no way on Earth I would participate in some type of altered experience. What if your mind doesn't return to what it was, and you are in limbo? I'll take a coffee to sip and watch a flick. But it is a good promise for a book, and the what if is a good question.

I would participate. I'm not sure what I would want my experience to be, but I know that I would want to experience something new rather than relive a day from my past.

Oh absolutely I would. I recently played the game Split Fiction and that game unintentionally used a similar concept. I've been really smitten by the idea since then, and this book only deepened that emotion. I think it sounds extremely intriguing!
