"Man's Search for Meaning", written by a doctor who survived Auschwitz. Incredibly beautiful read. Well, incredibly horrible, ofc. Been transfixed for about an hour |

I REALLY hope this won't be a regular thing.
I still have no idea what you're pissed about. You're being pretty unreasonable yourself. |

I just finished How We Die: Reflections on Life's Final Chapter by Sherwin B. Nuland. Not as morbid as you might think. Author is a doctor and uses previous patients to both teach about how bodily systems fail you but also to sort of talk about empathy and how to help patients facing the end.
Anybody else on Goodreads? |

that last book is pretty accessible to a mainstream audience. the basic premise is that you can predict how well a product will do based on if it would have fulfilled a survival need while we were hunter gatherers. it is pretty compelling
also "why we lie" by smith is pretty accessible, i got a lot of ideas from that book but it doesn't go into a lot of nitty-gritty which is good for accessibility. it's also a pretty fast read. "why we cooperate" blew my mind about 10 times and it's a tiny book but it requires a lot of background knowledge |

Oh I just saw this, so glad you started reading it. It is an amazing book, I need to read it again, and it's thankfully pretty brief, because it is so horrible that I do not think it would be stomach-able if it was hundreds and hundreds of pages. I could not get into the second part as much, where he talks about logotherapy. Obviously it hasn't been accepted as a mainstream technique in psychotherapy, but for someone who suffered as profoundly as he did it is absolutely valuable to see how he dealt with what happened to him. Especially the effects of after he was free of the camps, the anger and bitterness at losing everything and the expectation to carry on living and become "normal" again

i also read this book fairly recently:
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....4,203,200_.jpg it is about harry harlow, who did the experiments with baby monkeys with the wire and cloth monkeys to prove freud wrong that what humans (and monkeys) "love" about their caretaker is comfort and not the fact that they feed them. harlow did a lot of terrible things to monkeys, things that would not be allowed today. they try to portray him in a balanced way but it is hard to feel for a guy who made literal pits of despair to cause depression in monkeys that they literally never recovered from even when he attempted to rehabilitate them. however, just like from the human experimentation during the holocaust had an effect on medical techniques, we learned so much from harlow's experiments and very many therapies and parenting techniques have come from them. so definitely it is good that we don't throw the baby out with the bathwater even though what these people did was horrible. it also does a good job of showing you where harlow fits among his peers such as maslow, since they were from the same time period |

my daughter, on the other hand, finds the premise "insulting" and the illustrations "woefully inaccurate"

I read Why We Lie. Really interesting book. I'll read more of what reprise suggested. I'm pretty interested in psychology.

I'm reading Around the World 80 Days to my 12 year old. I haven't read it before. It's bloody hilarious.
