I'm such a sucker for a decluttering book.

I really liked this. It's written by a Zen monk and has a lot of zen philosophy in it but no actual religious content which makes it suitable for anyone. This is a very gentle time management framework. My time management situation is pretty unique but I could find a useful perspective which tells me that pretty much anyone else could too.

I'm absolutely loving this. It's been too long since I sat down and just read without skipping around or cross-referencing or "studying". Just reading is it's own special thing and this version makes it a joy.

Assigned for work.

Recommended by the management consultant group my company works with.

Don't judge me, I know next to nothing about science.

For a reading group.

She wants me to parent my inner infant. I can't even.

I had high expectations for this book but it seems pretty overwrought and histrionic so far. There's a piece of dramatic "infant fiction" hypothesizing the experiences of a 6 week old baby. I just can't with that.

Audio book from the library Overdrive system.

I think if the words "artisanal" and "bespoke" were removed from the book the prose would collapse of its own pretentious weight.

This book is going to kill me. I'm going to die of This Book.
