The Big One

items I'm starting a mega list. I'm not quite sure how to describe it other than it is going to have books, ideas and maybe stuff. Maybe it is my life right now, my brain just now. A snap shot of all the different threads that make up my current existence.
Page 11? How am I only on page 11? It's been an hour! For context I usually read at turbo speed but this book had so many insights in just the first few pages that I found myself stopping to write stuff down or think about what I had just read. This ...
Flourishing: How to achieve a deeper sense of well-being and purpose in ...
This book is beautifully simple. It illustrates life on the Hebridean island of Oransay using words and pictures. It doesn't tell you what to do or where to go. The book flows. Even if you have little to no interest in birds, this book is worth it fo...

The Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload
Take one stressed out four year old. One emotionally stunted aunt. And emotionally stunted parents. And grandmother. Add a ton of demands. And some fire alarms. Is that a recipe for success? Em no. I don't really enjoy books of rules that say follow ...
How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett ...
