It is likely I am probably cycling through any of these pieces of content at the current point in time. I'll mention the general vibes I have of it here.
... Books! 📘
- Happy by Darren Brown: Actually a fan of his early career mentalist shows. Surprised to see he is a fan of philosophy from the angle of the pursuit of happiness.
- Useful Not True by Derek Sivers: Recently gifted by the author himself in an in-person meetup. I have literally just started reading it.
- The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho: Random people online on Reddit and YouTube hinted at how this book is life changing. Just started reading as well, let's see how it goes.
If I don't post updates about books here, I'll post it on my Goodreads.
... Podcasts 🎙️
My app of choice for listening to podcasts is Snipd because of its highlighting and daily reviewing of the sound bits feature.
When I'm not online I'm...
Having conversations
- About philosophy: For the past few months, I have been in a WeChat group, discussing the "problem of consciousness". The topics I currently concern myself with are the problem of consciousness and spirituality.
Working on some other things
- Improving my Mandarin
- Improving my sleep, diet, and exercise
- Taking notes on interesting conversations or content I consumed for my future self, and more importantly, for you guys.
Nature-bathing 🌳
- I take walks in the park. I focus on the trees, the little creatures that run past me, reminding myself that I'm part of all of this. My human troubles and stresses are meaningless after I'm gone as I will no longer exist, so why not appreciate the green Earth I come from?
- OK, in simpler language, I'm really doing it for the mindfulness benefits.
