Personal Thoughts This was a great book! I read the whole thing in three days! It felt like a practical version of [[Thinking, Fast and Slow]]?? , but taken from a more self-help direction and written by a member of the rationalist community. There wasn’t much beating around the bush, it was pretty direct the whole time and stated things very, very clearly. I also liked how she included a bunch of examples and that the examples didn’t have any particular bias.

Man tries writing Christian book about Hiroshima bombing. Man ends up on an island to do an interview but ends up destroying most life on Earth so he switches religion. This book was a bit weird. It was really short but there were about 120 chapters, all a couple pages long. I liked it, but I wasn’t itching to keep on reading it if that makes sense. I enjoyed [[Slaughterhouse 5]]?? more but I might just be biased because that’s the one my Dad suggested.

Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain Spark is a book about how exercise affects not just the physical aspects of the body, but also mental health and the capacity to learn. If exercise came in pill form, it would be plastered across the front page, hailed as the blockbuster drug of the century. Chapters Chapter 1: [[Spark - Welcome to the Revolution]]?? Chapter 2: [[Spark - Learning]]?
