Hey guys i want you to give me some books suggestions that show me how to build discipline and make me disciplined with my routine because this problem make me lose many things and chances in my life
Hi guys, I'm on the prowl for books/essays/poems/anything really that addresses the human experience and our journey to find peace and personal understanding.
Some of my favorites have been all of Mary Oliver's repertoire, John O'Donohue's "Anam Cara", David Foster Wallace's "This is Water", and Joan Didion's "On Self Respect". These aren't self help pieces per se, but are still written to the reader directly and discuss ways to either find joy or explore yourself.
Other pieces I've explored are "Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse, Audre Lorde's essays, and essays by Annie Dillard. I am also interested in the female experience, but welcome any suggestion!
Thanks!
I’m 24 years old and eager to learn, broaden my horizons, and be able to apply what I learn to my everyday life.
I’m looking for books that provide any kind of valuable insight, whether it’s about finance, philosophy, relationships, mindset, productivity, lifestyle, or anything else.
I’m also open to other types of books that have had a strong impact on you and taught you something truly valuable.
There are YouTube videos dedicated to this topic as well, but I would prefer to understand it through a book. I am still a beginner and have read around 15 books so far.
My problem is that, no matter how good a book is, I rarely feel truly immersed in it. Even after finishing one, I can recall the story only in very little detail.
Am I simply overthinking this, or am I actually not reading the right way? If it were just overthinking, then why are there so many discussions and videos about how to read properly and retain what you read?
I would appreciate any advice from fellow readers who have experienced something similar. Thanks!
Imagine a society where an AI predicts dangerous behaviour, prevents disasters, and makes almost every decision safer.
There are fewer wars. Less crime. People live longer and feel more secure.
But the system starts deciding what people are allowed to do—not because they've committed a crime, but because they might.
Would you consider that a successful society, or would it still be a form of oppression?
I'm fascinated by the tension between safety and freedom, especially in science fiction. I'd love to hear where you would draw the line.
Hey Reddit! I’m a language tutor and really would like to start reading books on how memory and brain work, I believe it would help a lot. Any suggestions? I’ve never read anything like this before.
Years ago, I read a book about making better food choices. It was written by a female Registered Dietitian or Nutritionist. She included a small list of supplements worth buying in the back of the book.
I had a Goodreads account on Facebook. I can no longer access that list.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I love reading about the science of food.
My partner, 33 m, requested that I read a book of my choosing on how to show up as a more "respectful" partner. This sounds a bit sexist, but I'm thinking about books that can help women better understand men's perspective. There are lots of books describing the opposite, and while I am a moderate feminist, I'm interested in ingesting something that advises (in a healthy way) on relationship dynamics.
For context, we've been dating for 3 years and I've read some of the gottman books together. Can go into more details but I'm mostly curious to hear how I could go deeper on this topic. Relationship books and self help are a bit of my special interest, so i am excited to see what else there is to learn!
