I read to spend time with people—fictional or not—that make me think, make me laugh, or just feel like good company. In this episode, I talk about why Less by Andrew Sean Greer worked for me, why Artemis by Andy Weir didn't, and why I give every novel exactly 50 pages to win me over. This isn't about snobbery—it's about using your time wisely.Send Me a Text Message with Your QuestionsIMPORTANT LINKS:

Philosophy is hard to grasp, especially in the beginning. The ideas feel heavy in your brain and there are words like Martin Heidegger's Dasien that will mean nothing to you. Hannah Arendt's take on totalitarianism requires real work on your part to understand. But as you mentally push against this giant and cumbersome wheel, it begins to turn. Each philosophical idea builds on the next, creating intellectual momentum that generates fantastical power.In this week's episode, I talk about how pushing against the flywheel of philosophy is hard in the beginning, but worth the effort.New ReviewThanks to Obi-norm for the kind 5-star review on Apple Podcasts:“I just discovered this podcast and am already hooked after the first two episodes. Love the premise of reading well versus being well read.”This Week's Book RecommendationThe Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday. This book is an easy introduction to the world of philosophy through a stoic lens.IMPORTANT LINKS:

Do you prefer books written more recently or those that have (hopefully) aged gracefully with time?In February 2023 we reviewed 4 books on this channel. My favourites were the two books written in the last 15 years concerning modern topics of copyright/commons and VR/simulation theory. And then I was just baffled at what is to be taken away from an asshole rebellious teenager. Juan also got some personal development in him and will hopefully have some atomic habits to show for it.Huge thanks to Petar and Kalamansihan for supporting the show. Rock solid!I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

I've been disappointed with my reading of philosophy books over the last year, so here are the reasons why.In Episode #326 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: my loose definition of philosophy and philosophers, why I came in with high expectations, whether you should be able to read a book as a stand alone, linking deep ideas back to reality, Interlingua and how a lot of philosophy can be semantics, a list of all the books I read over this last year and some thoughts on being too dumb to understand.A big thanks to TheBigCheese, Rastacalavera, This Is The Future and Joey Broad Shoulders for supporting the show.

Juan did some heavy lifting and bested me for the first time since we began. I've recently been noticing a decline in my desire to read and this could be because I have been slogging through Parfit's book (intermittently) for a couple of months now.

Why Buddhism is True written by Robert Wright 'Why Buddhism is True' looks at the science and philosophy of meditation and enlightenment. Robert Wright is a devout non-meditating anger prone evolutionary psychologist and writer. He dives headlong into the world of meditation with surprising results, and explain why it works from an evolutionary standpoint. Robert Wright famously explained in The Moral Animal how evolution shaped the human brain. The mind is designed to often delude us, he argued, about ourselves and about the world. And it is designed to make happiness hard to sustain. But if we know our minds are rigged for anxiety, depression, anger, and greed, what do we do? Wright locates the answer in Buddhism, which figured out thousands of years ago what scientists are only discovering now. Buddhism holds that human suffering is a result of not seeing the world clearly—and proposes that seeing the world more clearly, through meditation, will make us better, happier people. In Why Buddhism is True, Wright leads readers on a journey through psychology, philosophy, and a great many silent retreats to show how and why meditation can serve as the foundation for a spiritual life in a secular age. At once excitingly ambitious and wittily accessible, this is the first book to combine evolutionary psychology with cutting-edge neuroscience to defend the radical claims at the heart of Buddhist philosophy. With bracing honesty and fierce wisdom, it will persuade you not just that Buddhism is true—which is to say, a way out of our delusion—but that it can ultimately save us from ourselves, as individuals and as a species.

'Why Buddhism is True' looks at the science and philosophy of meditation and enlightenment. The author is a devout non-meditating anger prone evolutionary psychologist and writer. He dives headlong into the world of meditation with surprising results. He explains why it works from an evolutionary standpoint. Using his wit and intellect the book makes very enjoyable and enlightening reading. This was my favourite book on meditation. I loved it so much that I wrote over 40 pages of notes during reading it. (and yes I've read the other Sam Harris' book 'Waking Up' and most of the best ones) About Robert Wright famously explained in The Moral Animal how evolution shaped the human brain.
