Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion. It was ok. A lot of sciencey brain stuff. The last chapter was about fake gurus and awesome drugs which was nice.

I'm currently reading Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom. Another book based on brain science. I read it a long time ago but don't remember any of it. In fact I don't remember most books I read.

I like non-fiction books. A lot of what you might call "self-help" but not like Tony Robbins "Just think positive!" stuff. I like the physical/chemical science behind things. For fiction I have next to my bed "If It Bleeds" by Stephen King. His latest short story book. I LOVE King short story books. Just long enough to keep my attention span and make me feel like I accomplished something by finishing it.

Check out 'Why Buddhism is True' by Robert Wright.

OMFG FURRY posted:

most recently Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control which made it pretty clear that there never would've been a hippie movement if it weren't for the CIA

i recommend reading CHAOS:Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties afterward for the speedrun any% path to tinfoil paranoia about the CIA

CHAOS is a must-read!!

I just finished 'How I Built This' by Guy Raz, a compilation of all his podcast material in book form. I've never listened to his podcast and I'm not sure I ever will but I really like learning about business through stories about business.

Up next is The Dark Tower I audiobook
