Leven in Metaforen

The book's examples are so vivid and varied — I wonder what guided their choices in selecting these particular metaphors to illustrate their points.

The way everyday language reflects deeper cognitive processes really made me rethink how I interpret common phrases. What was the most surprising metaphor for others?

Since reading, I can't help but notice metaphors more in conversations and media. Has anyone experienced a shift in awareness or understanding after reading this?
