Everyday after I pick up this book I notice it instilling a sense of positivity in me. Despite being a random collection of essays - from dr. Pepper to hailey's comet, there's this friendly and hopeful writing of the author that makes me truly feel relaxed and observe the world bit slowly, bit more thoughtful. It's the book version of watching a Ghibli movie. Immensely happy to have come across this :)

A proxy to shelf Peebles's paper"The Physicists' Philosophy of Physics" that is the precursor to/ origin of this upcoming book

On hold for now...not so interesting (maybe because I am too familiar with the genre)

1/300 and I already know I'm gonna cherish this one forever

Forgive me father for i have sinned 🥲

The kind of mental clarity and maturity he displayed at 16-22 is unmatched by many boomers today, let alone those in there 20s or 30s

The chapter on Marxism is elegantly explained; follows the KISS principal (keep it short & simple). So far quite an esoteric introductory book

So far 5/5, the writing is simple and easy to follow and the concepts are explained concisely

Gets repetitive, for instance, 'rumination shortens teleomeres, meditation stops that'. It says a bad thing is bad cause it causes cellular aging by shortening telomeres, which is true but not surprising. If it gets to food I already know that fresh foods are good and processed food will shorten telomeres.
The examples are forced and old fashioned, "John smokes thrice everyday, guess what, shorter telomeres John!!!"

Meticulous world-building...so far interesting 😊
