READING, WRITING
Read for 80 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari. He says it's both an oversimplification and a deep analysis of what made/makes Sapiens happy, when you evaluate us over centuries/millennia. There are studies that show all kinds of conflicting theories. And how did our evolutionary brains conceive of these kinds of ideas? Early SAPIENS knew only the thrill of the hunt. Today, we have no such experience: we work, earn money, and buy food from others. So, are we happier? Or were they?
Read for 80 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama. He says he found gratitude in receiving notes from many US Citizens who wrote to thank him for a policy/program he'd implemented, that had affected them positively.
Read for 80 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt. He says the 5 Moral Foundations he's come up with are in part a result of the evolution of the human brain, having followed animal mammals, and before them, reptiles, who are accused of being cold and cold-hearted. They didn't seem to care what happened to their eggs, whereas humans care for their young almost through adulthood.
Read for 80 seconds in MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING by Viktor Frankl. He discusses logotherapy's "paradoxical intention" - meaning that, for example, if we fear, we intensify that fear. (or something like that)
dahahaha
