I am listening to this audiobook free via YouTube. The writing is very smooth and easy to follow, even stretching it out throughout the year. Grad school has kept me from reading much, but I enjoy reading bits of this throughout the year. Almost done hah.

Holy crap.

This book is boring me to death.

I love Ednas poems.

“I am a shepherd of those sheep
That climb a wall by night
One after one, until I sleep
Or the black pane goes white
Because of which I cannot see
A flock upon a hill
But doubts come tittering up to me
That should by day be still
And childish griefs I have outgrown
Into my eyes are thrust
Till my dull tears go dropping down
Like lead into the dust”

Why are our minds so vulnerable? This book has been trying to answer this question through an evolutionary and biological perspective. I appreciate his acceptance in the psychiatrists dilemma that psychiatry is so scrambled and complicated. This book so far seems to be an honest effort to answer some good questions regarding why mental disorders exist and how to make sense of all the variables that may cause them.

I am loving this book!

Dr. Tversky has lectures online that are really great. She is a great speaker. Her writing is rough to get through but it is a new way of thinking and I’m struggling to interpret it. It is all starting to come together better now. If you need some extra help too just hit up the videos. They are fascinating.

I’m struggle busting through this one. I can’t seem to latch on to any of the words and sustain my focus to the authors complete thoughts. I’m not sure if it’s the wording or content.

Those who wrote reviews weren’t kidding. This is quite a large assembly of stories. I’m finding myself mostly lost in these myths. Nonetheless, they are iridescent windows into the human minds imagination.

I swear to God if he uses the word latter one more time I’m going to loose my mind. It’s ok once in a while but every freaking page? He’s killing me. I don’t want to reread the past sentence to figure out which theory was the latter or former. Jerk!!

On chapter 9. This has been a very fun read. I just ordered the physical book to read through it after listening to the audiobook. He has a lot of good material but too much to inhale w/o the reiteration of reviewing it later. I like it.

This book is actually really cool, at least so far.

Far fetching, and truth stretching. The book is interesting but an over all let down so far. It’s embarrassing it stretches the truth so far with out citing their resources. A book with a pretty picture on the cover and a few good ideas. Blaah!!!

Fuck trying to read this book. I don’t have it in me to get through this at this point in my life. I’ll try again later.

I’m digging this.

Sometimes my patients google their diseases then try to explain them to me. This book felt a lot like that. Felt like she googled how the brain works then poetically wrote a book about how awesome it is. I love poetry but I need accuracy.

This is surprisingly really hard to get through. I've learned things about the world and about myself I wouldn't have gotten from any other books, so I will carry on with it anyway.

I'm awake at 0029h contemplating the philosophical fantods this book brings up. I love it, but I feel like it kinda kills me a little bit too. Ironically, this book feels like a drug. The author isn't just trying to tell you his point, no, he wants you to experience it through his book too. He is a genius.

I'm really excited to read this. Brian Greene is one of my favorite science writers.

Finally. Someone is writing about it.

I'm really struggling. Has anyone else read this, or any of her other books?

I wish I had more time to finish this sooner but it will be another year I bet. Half way there.

The biggest fucking pain in the ass book to read ever! It's pretty great though.
