I’m happy I can understand so much can’t wait to keep reading things in Hindi

Listening to the audiobook for this and I’m pleasantly surprised by how much of it I can understand. I’m definite going to keep listening to audiobooks in other languages. Why have I been doing anything else lol

It got better 😅

This book is so cheesy it makes me cringe

Great book. Literally should read it. Talking about differences between gender is a pet peeve of mine because I don’t think there are inherent differences. I think those differences are societally made. In the chapter on gender gottman basically says that but in a less obviously liberal/progressive tone. For the 90s this is amazing and honestly every baby boomer and really everyone should read it

Every time I finish one of these short stories I’m always in awe and just think how could it have ended so quickly. These are really good. I’m struck by how the values and ideals of a lot of these radical or cult groups are good on the surface. A lot of them at first at least have some good values and ideas. It’s crazy. Some of them are crazy from the start too, but it just shows how important the execution is

Even though I’m on page 3 of the book I read about 20 pages of forwards and notes prior to the book counting pages. I’m very intrigued and Oliver sacks is a top notch bloke

Pretty good so far. I was worried it would be self helpy and generic but it’s pushing me to think. I’m starting to see humans and groups of humans as just a bunch of unconscious habits and routines lol

It’s cool to see how these can change and snow ball for positive change but it also explains why there are negative systems. Systems habits and routines are all kind of interchangeable
