Yeah, already my two female friends have recommended "Power of Your Subconscious Mind" to me and the person who talked about 'Awaken the Giant Within' also.
'Awaken the Giant Within' is the best book I have read so far. I haven't finished it yet, but I know I will apply the things I learned from it to my life. This book truly teaches you how to be a happier person, how to deal with problems, achieve your goals and make your dreams come true.

 

The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It..... by Kelly McGonagall ...

This book is good for habit changing and forming new habits. It has helped me in some ways. Happy reading.....

 

In the last two days I've read three books:

-Jugoslavian Wars by Joze Pirjevec (650 pages), long and sometime boring, but interesting, especially the three years war in Bosnia Herzegovina.

-A book about Chomsky toughts on Ukraine (120 pages) - I've read it only because they gifted it to me, there were interesting things tho

-A book about Chomsky toughts on Modern world issues (90 pages) - Not interesting at all honestly, I've just read it because I read all the books they gift to me. Since his mere opinions during pandemy, he just proof that he's a gatekeeper and nothing more. He give you some ''light'' on somethings and then scam you with other issues, blocking you from get the truth, just like other scammers like Musk or Icke does.

 

Today I've completed two other books I was reading. Book number 14 and 15.

14: A book about Switzerland during ww2 (280 pages), authors are Pierre Streit and Jean-Jacques Langendorf.

15: Heptaplus by Pico Della Mirandola (112 pages). This book was really interesting and fully push the cabalistic and christian interpretation of the six days creation of the world inside the Torah and show how it's interconnected with the creation of the Ish (the creation of the man)

 

Finished Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey (2011). First book of the expanse series. I appreciate the near future sci fi aspect. Humanity has colonized the solar system but not yet the stars. It feels real and lived in. It’s got all the aspects of the real world; politics, economics, religion, relationships, etc. The two protagonists, Holden and Miller, are interesting and different from each other. A younger me would have agreed more with Holden but a current me agrees more with Miller. I love how the belt an amalgamation of different cultures and languages and people. Belters are built different amirite? The resolution of the story was ok. I’m interested to see what happens next. I’ll keep reading the series.

 

I haven’t ready much of Chomsky but I did read Manufacturing Consent which I learned a lot from. What are the criticisms of Chomsky exactly? I’m not familiar with that. I understand the criticisms with Musk.
