Instead of threadjacking this post with a huge text, I wrote up my weekly review of Mircea Eliade's A History of Religious Ideas Vol. 1 in a separate post.
I'm also planning to read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and there are a few other stackers interested in discussing via an online book club as per this post. Let us know if you're interested!

The Creative Act by Rick Rubin. He's a great music producer. With short chapters it seems fitting to read one per day and see what happens.

The Garden Within: Where the War with Your Emotions Ends and Your Most Powerful Life Begins by Dr. Anita Phillips.
Too often we’ve been taught to view our emotions with suspicion, seeing them as something to be suppressed, managed, or mastered. This isn’t true. Emotions are not your enemy. Internal war is not your destiny. You were created to flourish. I know it’s hard to keep them in check and with young kids I struggle at times!
In this game-changing book, trauma therapist and mental health expert Dr. Anita Phillips reveals how embracing emotion is the key to living your most powerful life. Just as gardens thrive in good ground, the abundant life you’ve been seeking can only be grown in the soil of your heart.
Think about it and you’ll change deeply!
