The Lessons of History by Will Durant

Conclusion so far: Some arguments for the twentieth century are based on questionable assumptions. For instance you can never trust any economic growth numbers published by a socialist country.

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 compact musings in Meditations are always good for a quick positivity boost.

The Mandibles

Follows what happens to an American family after the United States defaults on its debt.

In this world, treasury is slang for bull shit.

I like the premise and the details, but oh boy was that long and tiring to read

reply

I 45% agree. I wouldn't go that far, but do agree it had some dry stretches I needed to get through on audiobook at 1.2-1.5x speed.

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!
