Best book in this subject that I read so far.

Idk why I want to read this one because without starting it, I feel that'll be terrible. Just wanna make sure of it haha

GOD! Idk why I waited SO long to read it and I wish I started it sooner. But it's better to be late rather than never reading it. I'll review it soon and pick up the necessary parts that suits me.

Last year, I was enjoying this book word by word and letter by letter, when all hell broke loose in my country and in my life.
So I pick it up now where I left it.

… the Enemy is clever and sly, and to its anger and envy a thousand years is like the blink of an eye.

In the midst of a bsuy schedule, I managed to add this one to my currently reading list. After getting familiar with Dunn and watching her interview for half an hour, I thought it's necessary for my current situation. So, here we go.

A common and correct criticism of BUMMER is that it creates “filter bubbles.” Filter bubbles are bad, because you see the world in tunnel vision. Not only is your worldview distorted, but you have less awareness of other people’s worldviews. The version of the world you are seeing is invisible to the people who misunderstand you, and vice versa.

I actually read this book one week ago, but it's not finished in my kind till I write a proper review for it.

«Many people I spoke to, understand the social media's ability to manipulate their mood. The constant exposure to their friends' carefully curated portrayals of their lives generates feeling of inadequacy, specially during periods when they're already feeling low.»

“More porn use correlated with less gray matter and reduced reward activity (in the dorsal striatum) when viewing sexual images. More porn use also correlated with weakened connections to the seat of our willpower, the frontal cortex.”

"And moles on the skin were very important to the person who wrote the book – if you had a mole on your left rib, for a man it meant that he was very cruel and for a woman that she was vain and proud. Even better, a mole on the buttock was said to denote honour for a man and riches for a woman." Imagine your whole future depends on a mole on your ass. FANTASTIC!

Too much stimulation weakens pair bonds. Also, after pornography consumption, subjects of both sexes report less satisfaction with their intimate partner – including the partner's affection, appearance, sexual curiosity and performance.

What makes internet pornography addiction so troubling is that it represents a tuning of the reward system from a very healthy type of reward, that of forming a genuine and intimate connection with another, into a type of reward that removes the user from social contact.

Full of small tricks and easy instructions to cook better.
I cooked rice with its method yesterday and the result was satisfying.

«Herbs bring a dish to life with their fragrance. We perceive flavour mostly through smell, which herbs deliver via aromatic essential oils.»

"We humans are like birds, busy about our lives, but underlying everything is the unexplained, unexplainable urge to take flight, to migrate from this daily existence to another - and if this is not acknowledged, or is frustrated, our existence can becomes insupportable".

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

«For advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all courses may run ill.»

It's too beautiful that I can't bear it. It's so much touching that I can't stop crying.

It's not a «WOW!» book, but it's sufficient for a starter [like me].

Wandering on foot can lead to the wandering of imagination and to an understanding that is creation itself, the activity that makes introspection an outdoor pursuit.

The violence horrifies me, but so does the underlying assumption that the abuser has the right to control and punish his victim and the way such violence is used to that end.
