Sadhguru spitting facts
That's a nice way to put it :)
Never thought of feelings as an 'evolutionary rationality', very interesting outlook!!
This book has many of the greatest insights into human mind. Our various biases, presumptuous and faults are thoroughly discussed with proper research.
Although it's not a casual read. One has to take time to read it.
I'll probably read it again sometime soon :)
Starting this today. I already read Sapiens and Homo Deus, hope it's gonna be a great ride as the other two
Your daily dose of Nietzsche
We are as far from rationality as we are from the next closest galaxy
Keep those Aphorisms coming my man😋
Guess our social media has been using the same strategy to highlight bullshit 😂
Guess we're in this age?
Absolutely love his no BS straightforward attitude
My new reading list. What do y'all think??
Please recommend me more books haha
He used such strong language that it totally caught me off guard!! Absolutely brilliant 😋
It started off slow, but now I don't wanna stop reading it!!
It almost feels like an excerpt on black holes from his "A brief history of time" further dumbed down for non physicists to understand.
David Shukman's commentary throughout was entertaining.
If I'm pissed at someone for something they did in the past, would it be a passage through thermodynamic arrow of time or psychological arrow or both?
How's it going people?
An amazing summary of our understanding of time. Without using any equations, Rovelli drives home the nature of universe (as per the current understanding) and how different fields impact one another resulting in the so called passage of time.
There were a couple of tough paragraphs that could do your head, nonetheless a great read.
It's an amazing read on the concept of time... Time and time again, our understanding of time has been questioned and put to test.
Carlo Rovelli, a theoretical physicist himself debunks the myths of time. When we talk about present, what does it mean? Will there be a common present for two people?
This is a fair detail on how mindfulness can help one's well-being. I've been meditating fairly regularly for months now and I can vouch for the positive effects on one's brain and body.
Andy's efforts on demystifying mediation and simplifying it are particularly noteworthy.
Starting it today. Hope to finish it by Sunday :D
What are your plans for the weekend?
Have you ever thought about how we evolved as a human? Why we're the only existing human species? What made our lives the way they're today?
Harari did a tremendous amount of research for this and I could see that in every chapter, every paragraph of the book.
I'm not even exaggerating when I say this is the most interesting book on history I ever read.
The misfortunes of the animals in meat processing industries is heartbreaking. Are we becoming more and more inhumane as we're "progressing"?
This is the grand finale for the trilogy. After learning the secrets of Nagas and the dark side of Meluha, Shiva decides to visit the country of Vayuputras who presumably have nukes. This book primarily revolves around on his time in Pariha.
There's a traumatic end which I'd rather not spoil.
Go for it.
This is the continuation of THE IMMORTALS OF MELUHA. Shiva explores the so called cursed and dreaded lands of the Nagas, their customs and culture.
This further leads to a startling revelation on how Meluha has had a direct impact on the Nagas.
Enjoyable read.
The author tried to explain the ancient Indian epic Ramayana by breaking it down into three chunks.
This is the first piece with spotlight on Ram.
I loved the narration throughout the book. Amish has a flair to make you experience the moments in first person.
Would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn a thing or two about ancient India...
I loved the narration. The use of ancient English (nothing complicated) and the way the author stuck to his point till the end were noteworthy.
In a nutshell it's a short summary on how one can get richer managing their personal finances. The book is around 200 pages and kept me hooked throughout.
I'd highly suggest it to someone interested in managing their personal finances.
I'd say the title is at least a bit misleading. The author tries to bring into light the fact that we only have limited time and f*ucks, so they outta be spent wisely.. Couple of interesting points. Good read for anyone interested in self-help section.
Love this take on religions. Harari is a genius when it comes to writing backed by proper research
The British of the 18th and 19th century were unquestionably the most barbaric rulers the world has witnessed. The atrocities they committed in the name of imperialism are heartbreaking.
So many avoidable famines were overlooked just because they didn't think those lives deserved to be protected
Did Mr. Harari predict the Facebook-Cambridge analytica scandal?!
"You cannot experience something if you don't have the necessary sensitivity, and you cannot develop your sensitivity except by undergoing a long string of experiences"
"Our acts can be no wiser that our thoughts. Our thinking can be no wiser than our understanding."
It took just a piece of bread to make a starving medieval peasant joyful. How do you bring joy to a bored, overpaid and overweight engineer ?
Great read if you're into the politics of the old times. Nicolo Machiavelli perfectly explained the decision making policy of various princes with a focus on the political situations of that time.
Additionally, it has a very sophisticated vocabulary which made me hooked to it.
A 120 page marvel.
Everybody thinks they need to do God's work. If God is Almighty, do you have to do his work? No. You just mind your own business. But too many people are doing God's work on the planet, and that is the biggest ego, but it gets so well polished and smooth that nobody can catch it. It is so slippery.
"Success requires no explanations, Failure permits no alibis"
Have a great weekend people.
This book opened my mind on so many levels. Never have I before believed the need for financial freedom. I highly recommend this book to people who have just gotten out of college.
I'm halfway through finishing Rich Dad Poor Dad, it really made me realize a lot about the way everyone, including me are caught in the "rat race" without even realizing.
I'd say it's a must read for anyone who wanna be "financially literate"
A good read for those who want to indulge into Indian history.
The language is easy to follow and the author's style is intriguing.
It's one of those books that would make you question your life and your choices.
The author, being a holocaust survivor himself, thoroughly portrays the living conditions of the victims.
And the author's take on human psyche is just something one should read at least once in their life.
