Brain Energy Book Review

Mar

2023

I finished reading Brain Energy. Neat book. Alternative title: Mitochondria is the Powerhouse of the Brain. 😂 The author is trying to create a paradigm shift to view nearly all organic mental illnesses as mitochondrial dysfunction. He says it explains a lot of things, for example why do SSRIs take weeks to take effect despite ...

Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers is a truly exhaustive scientific look at stress from every possible angle.

I finished reading The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets to Weight Loss by Dr. Jason Fung a month or so ago. I am pleased to recommend it as an introductory book on topics such as diet, weight loss, or health. As simple as it sounds, Dr. Fung is one of the few it not the ...

Part of my self-training and self-discipline towards being a superior human being includes seeking out books that would otherwise be alien to me. This exercise stretches the imagination and requires an open mind, and it is something you should do. On just such an occasion I sought out a spiritual book. What? Me spiritual?

Today I’m offering tips on how to prepare to handle huge amounts of learning material by adding meta data to your books. When the game is on you don’t have time to think and this way you don’t have to. Imagine for a moment that you are in an advanced college math class. You have just ...

A Bookmark for Each Book

Dec

2011

If you are reading multiple books–let’s say 15, like myself–you need a bookmark for every book. I know this seems silly but I was actually keeping track mentally of where I was in each of these books; successfully I might add, but with a nagging feeling I would eventually fail. I was devoting so much ...
