I'm starting to work on my first book post reading How To Read A Book, and it's interesting so far. I will say, taking time to really look through the Table of Contents and Index does a lot to frame my reading- I'm more on the look out for things rather than fully open ended. I think what I'm going to do is try to …
Read MoreI finished this book today. I haven't started typing up my written notes yet, but I have lots of thoughts in my head. I definately think this book did a better job of at least discussing the problem I've been thinking about, and I definately understand why people suggest reading this book in conjunciton with the work …
Read MoreI'm glad to read this book. However, it's like trying to eat an elephant. The problem I have is that while I want to set it aside and try some of these things out, I'm also very interested in the end, mainly because that was the whole point of reading this book in the first place. I will say one thing about the book …
Read MoreI started this book late last week after finishing the Cancer Code. I may write up the Cancer Code at some point, but for now I don't think there's a lot of benefit in doing so. The book explores the history of Cancer treatment and how this disease has been much harder to understand and therefore find a treatment, …
Read MoreI took a break. I wish I had some profound reason to do so, or some great urge that drove me to come back, but I didn't really. I am nearing the end of a tough book that I want to document, so I guess I had it on my mind, but generally speaking, I guess it felt like it was time to start working on this project again. I …
Read MoreNever wrote anything. Says something about how I was feeling. :frown:
Read MoreI've been thinking a lot about how to get started with my notes, and the implications of such. The thing is, for you the casual browser, the organization of my notes won't matter. For you, the links will be how you navigate the notes. I think my interaction with the system, will be more on file side, so where and how I …
Read MoreI will say that I'm very much a sucker for this kind of book. As someone who is excited about trying to improve myself, a book that is basically about how it's good for you and thus far some practical ways to get other people who are at least a little interested in the idea on board as well sounds great. Now, if …
Read MoreI think it's really interesting when books you are reading end up having unexpected commentaries on your life. I'm not sure if my struggles are vastly different from most people, but for some time I feel like I have a bit of an identity crisis. Maybe it's a midlife deal. Maybe recent loss has brought it to the surface …
Read MoreI'm not sure this book so far is quite what I expected, but I think that's a good thing. After stumbling on the prior book, this one is much more in the vein of what I needed. The book seems pretty well researched with lots of citations from some studies and authors I'm familiar with, so it seems like a better fit for …
