Have you read Ultra-Processed People by Chris Van Tulleken? Have been meaning to get it.
How's Change your Diet, Change your Mind?
I have not read it but it looks interesting. So far Change your Diet is pretty informative. The author did an interview with Dr. Ken Berry on youtube where she goes into what made her write it and the research she did. The interview is worth watching. Getting rid of ultra-processed food has done wonders for my physical and mental health.
Thanks, I'll look into it.
Finished The Truth of the Aleke by Moses Ose Utomi. Twistier and grimmer than the first book; hoping the third (when it comes out) will have a satisfying conclusion. One note: if you decide to read this one by itself, with the thought that you might read the rest of the series later, just be aware that it spoils the ending of the first book.
Started I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons by Peter S. Beagle. Light and fluffy fairy-tale-type story so far, without the melancholy undertones I remember The Last Unicorn (understandably) having. Reviews seem mixed about the second half, so we'll see how I feel about it when I get to that point!
"Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World" by Vivek H. Murthy
Been looking for something to read after "Bowling Alone". "Together" is not as dry-sciency as the book by Putnam though it jumps to "evolutionary psychology" conclusions too quickly at times. The anecdotes are so overly positive that sometimes they're hard to believe.
My personality for the longer while has been "guy who read Bowling Alone recently". I started to drink cofee at the bar rather than go sit down. I've watched Quadrophenia (set in 1964) recently and the scene with the big ballroom dance party (i.e. people socializing) gave me "look what they took from you" vibes.
Bowling Alone sounds interesting, should give it a look.
Reading Redwall to the kids at night.
