READING, WRITING

Read for 80 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says BIOCHEMICAL response to events is what "causes" happiness in Sapiens.  Not their surroundings, or who won the war they just fought, or even when they lived.  When a person completes a task, his serotonin level increases, and he's happier.

Read for 80 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He says he has memories of those first 100 days, and wonders if he shouldn't have taken different paths; however, if he'd acted more radically, he thinks that many MORE would have suffered than did.

Read for 80 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt.  He says that Mr. X, a modern-day scientist, proposes that we think of the human experience, not as HARD-WIRED, but as PRE-WIRED; that the human newborn brain is like a 1st draft of a book; it's "hard-wired" with respect to certain infantile responses (smiling when you put your finger in it's little hand)..... but the chapters of each aspect of life are REVISED over time..... not written anew.

Read for 80 seconds in MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING by Viktor Frankl.  He says logotherapy helps patients refocus onto proper elements of their lives; a case history is presented wherein logotherapy was used to refocus a woman to her partner (rather than to her previous mis-conceptions about sex & her childhood sexual abuse); she was then able to have an orgasm with her current partner.
