For pleasure and/or growth, below are the books I’ve been reading and listening to lately. Note: I don’t check anything on these pages for spelling/grammar.
i think Everyone Should want to be this way all of the time
Customers deserve our absolute best, to be swept off their feet, to be part of the creation itself, to receive over the top. But for that matter, so does everyone with whom I am in contact…
Jung gives Job an answer
In Job, God and the Devil make a kind of bet. Will Job continue to follow/serve/be loyal to God if everything he’s been blessed with is taken from him? What does this say of God? And of man? What is required in the pysche from/of God in light of this?…
Individual Psychology
Adler was one of Freud’s contemporaries, like Jung. They shared in common a departure from Freud’s theories, for example, that everything is driven by the sexual desire. Adler founded Individual Psychology. Jung, Analytics Psychology. They had different theories..
Becoming more my own investor
Great short how to think book for an individual investor. A lot of great tips on organizing thought, what to ignore, what to pay more attention to. Thank you Mr. Lynch!
Motivating!
Recommended by a friend who was looking to start up or flame his fire inside some. What a story! What is YOUR Everest? I knew right away what mine has been and what it is today. And it breaks my heart. The author of this book drug a sled across the whole of Antarctica…
Helped(ing) me be in time
Great book for anyone, especially the average Joe/Jill, but also investors like myself to help see the bigger picture. My time horizons are typically…
Listening to on repeat is recommended
…cause that’s what I’ve been doing this week and last. This is so good. I went through about a year ago but have…
Peopleing can lead to ennui and Anhedonia
Round 3 of Proust. I am reminded of Rilke, “I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.” The next is Sodom and Gomorrah…
Immediate changes if you..
Immediate changes occured in me and my daily activities as a result of having listened to this once and I plan to use and incorporate more now and for a long time…
A brilliant person will forget/overlook
No one is immune. The most experienced builder, surgeon, stock trader still forgets or overlooks something that in retrospect…
One of my favorites of David’s
Do you ever find that you are always waking either a little bit more or that you are just now beginning to come awake after not having realized you’d fallen asleep again?…
Soul medicine
David’s poetry and interpretations of poetry and life are medicine for the mind and the soul. His voice is…
One of the greatest
Eckhart is one of the greatest spiritual masters I have read in my life. I read his sermons out loud to…
2nd Volume: In Search of Lost Time
Each of these is so widly different. I’m in the third volume at present and it is my least favorite thus far. I am totally floored with Proust’s brilliance…
Memory, perception, mental gymnatics, beautiful and terrible
I’ll be reading Proust a long, long time now. In Search of Lost Time (of which this is the first volume) has seven volumes, all of which are long and every sentence (almost) complex. No one writes, has ever written like this imo…
Outlive who?
Me! Outlive my other/old self anyway. This book is full of wisdom and motiviation for living healthier lives. I continue to share it with others…
Fascinating world of fungi
We are here because of fungi and could not live without it and still know so very little.
A mash up of fun and informative short stories
There’s nothing else to say for me. If this is what you’re looking for, why not!? The dirty jobs guy will take you through his own experiences as well as stories he’s heard from others and that are well documented. You often don’t know who or where or even when is the subject of each story until the very end. That part is also fun. You’re thinking, Germany, and you come to find out that it was really Korea. Or Marilyn Monroe, and you were right! That kind of thing.
Masculine/Feminine Sacred Intimacy
John Wineland is one of the greatest teachers of my life on taoist energy principles in the context of intimacy and romantic relationship between the masculine and feminine. He doesn’t know it because I’ve just subscribed to his material and followed over time but I’ve used it and it’s been fantastic. Actually I’m certain it is this work which brought my current partner and her beautiful now 11 year old daughter to me (3.5 years together now). My partner purchased this for me…
How the Tao comes through
What a straightforward (as it gets) ancient text on Chinese philosophy and appreciated commentary by Jung comparing the East to the West with guidance of how to approach the East as a Westerner and explanation for what exactly is the Golden Flower, the Christ, the image of psyche as singularity. The breadth of life within the microcosmic orbit (although not called as such here) from Mantak Chia does, I think, originate here (though…
