I've recently seen this mentioned in a few places.

This is supposed to be worth a read...lines out the NWO. Warning: when the author wrote it he was a fan; later changed his opinion.

And I've been watching some content by this guy because I'm trying to be more proactive/positive.

Hmmm, looks like a good suggestion. I’ll probably add that one to my list next. I’m better than I used to be(I say as I’m miscing when I should be working), but focus is definitely something needs to exercised like muscles and brain. I’ll be interesting to see what the book suggests.






Opie, I just got this one in last week but haven’t started it yet. I really enjoy his work and thought process though so I’m very confident I’ll enjoy it.

The Quest for Happiness Is a Universal Fact.

It is a scientific fact, which means we can measure happiness, we can assess it, and we can devise strategies to make ourselves happy and fulfilled human beings.

So says Professor Gad Saad, the author of the sensational bestseller The Parasitic Mind and the irrepressible host of The Saad Truth podcast. In this provocative, entertaining, and life-changing new book, he roams through the scientific studies, culls the wisdom of ancient philosophy and religion, and draws on his extraordinary personal experience as a refugee from war-torn Lebanon turned academic celebrity.

In The Saad Truth about Happiness you’ll learn the secrets to living the good life,
• How to live the life you want—not necessarily the life expected of you
• Why resilience is a key to happiness
• Why your career needs to have a higher purpose than a paycheck
• Why variety truly can be the spice of life
• Why choosing the right spouse is so important
• Why Aristotle had it right when he preached moderation
• Why you should take a hint from your dog and realize that playfulness equals happiness

The Saad Truth about Happiness is as lively, stimulating, and captivating as its author, who has become a "de facto global therapist" to an ever-growing audience of hundreds of thousands of people. Read this book and you’ll see why so many seek his counsel.

Michael Jordan's The Life was really good.



I have read Deep Work and it was also a worthwhile read
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Oh that could be on my list too. I've enjoyed several interviews of Saad.

The Pied piper : A handbook

An in depth study of the events surrounding the Pied Piper of Hamlin. It is way more than a fairy tale but an actual event that happened in 1286.
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

Dante is being given tours of the places and it's really enjoyable. Recommended for religioncels of all faiths - it encompasses so many viewpoints and makes a wonderful # of references to many many cultures, faiths, etc.

Honorable mention (history): Garrett Ryan's "Naked Statues, Fat Gladiators, and War Elephants". This guy started out making humble, short videos on YT about the Roman world...then the channel blew up (see: toldinstone), and he published a book that was essentially the same format as his YT channel: filled with chapters each 10 pages or so long, covering a wide range of bizarre but true aspects of ancient life. The best part about a book in this format is that each chapter is WILDLY DIFFERENT from the one before, and is self-contained. You can jump to anywhere in the book and not be lost. You will be entertained the entire time, I promise you.

If you are into any of the above, GET THOSE BOOKS.

The Divine Comedy - Dante Alighieri
Parallel Lives - Plutarch (not an easy read, you need to really focus)
Fat Gladiators - Garrett Ryan

You will enjoy those if the subject matter interests you. Top notch publications.
Nice. My attention span for reading sucks compared to what it used to be. Could be internet, but also maybe age and eyesight.
