Here are some of the memorable written things that I’ve ingested into my brainbox in the last few months.
Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Reading this as my niece is studying it for her GCSE’s in the UK.
The Act of Living by Frank Tallis. Terrific history of the great psychologists dipping meaningfully into their teachings and showing how they play off each other.
Meditations by Joe Dispenza. Trying to make meditation more of a regular part of my life. This particular book is ok. It’s repetitive but that’s meditation for you.
Straw Dogs by John Gray. Really interesting examination on the human instinct towards dogma and its evolution.
Every Tool’s a Hammer by Adam Savage. Makes you want to make.
Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver by Oliver Burkeman. Helps you understand how finite our time on earth is, how to use it without being ridden with self-criticism.
The Daily Dad by Ryan Holiday. Keeps you focused on what kind of dad you want/need to be.
Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America by Abraham Riesman. Shoutout Alan Mercer.
A Heart That Works by Rob Delaney. This book scares me and I am reading it so slowly. It’s beautifully written but the thought of losing a child affects me in a way I didn’t expect. I’ll finish it and love it but I’ll need courage.
