A bit overrated to be honest

Good review. Thanks!

I read this book when I was at school in Bulgaria and in my spare time I was shepherd, looking after two families of goats and sheep around 10 in total. I always took books with me and I enjoyed this one. I will reed again soon

Amazing and concise video explaining this book perfectly. Thank you 🙏

Try another economics book: Sacred Economics: Money, Gift and Society in the Age of Transition by Charles Eisenstein.

A study of more than 50 mammal species found that, in over 80 per cent of cases, zoo animals live longer than their wild counterparts. Sholdn’t wild animals live longer with all that stressors like hunger, heat, cold etc or they are only promoting lifespan in humans 🤔

This is going to be a great month for reading. I'm most looking forward to Nexus and Fierce Desires but I'll take me a while to get to them. So many books to read. Keep up the good work!

The 'Momento Mori' by Joanna Ebenstein. And 'How Economics Explains The World: A Short History of Humanity' by Andrew Leigh look pretty interesting. I swear, I read more than just end of life stuff. It is more due to 'The bug' and personal life events. Last summer I was mostly reading productivity and 'Goosebumps' books. However, in my opinion/personal experience, reading end of life content is like taking bad tasting medicine that is effective. It's uncomfortable but you reap the benefits afterwards. I did finish 'Meditations' by Marcus Aurelius but now, I am thinking about reading ' Journey of Souls' by Micheal Newton.

Bjorn's World! Party Time! Excellent! Wooo!

So many books to choose from! Right now I'm reading "Shadowlands: A Journey Through Britain's Lost Cities and Vanished Villages" by Matthew Green. I think next up will be "Nature's Ghosts: The World We Lost and How To Bring It Back" by Sophie Yeo. I'm looking forward to a very good reading time in September. Thank you, Bjorn.

What’s a book club without the capacity for civilised discussion? And if you crowbar open the being of the other participants that is antithetical to civility actually. And it’s unclean as the Bible says 🪬. Is there anyone left who isn’t a wolf here and who wants to observe ego boundaries between self and other? Frankly you’ve all taken #fomo too far when you’ve all been persuaded as a mass of people to just drool and offload all bodily waste upon your fellow man. It is profane and it’s unclean and nasty. Do you all idolise Dawkins so much that you just can’t live without watching him go to the lavatory? Couldn’t you just patiently wait for him to release his next book and considering the pros and cons and merits and fallacies of which there are many of said book (instead of following him into the gents in the unseen spiritual realm?) This is mass psychosis and it’s exactly what the Bible spoke of in the last days. Please get right with Jesus. You’ve all ruined my going to book clubs because you all cave in upon me and I have to carry all the bricks (or maybe books in this case) on my shoulders because of your evil eye because you’re lawless Pharisees and pagans and unbelievers. I don’t even care if you don’t believe the Truth. You would all claim to be civilised but you have no manners or sense of propriety and your knowledge and material existence is a thin patina for your atavism and savagery. And it’s the dregs. It’s the dregs. And there is a way to live that is clean. You’d rather be groom of the stool for some fallen men you idolise rather than Kings under the King of Kings who is the Lord Jesus re: whom and without whom none of these books would have been written. And who is one way or another the ghost author behind all that has been written. He is the Alpha and the Omega. I can’t go to a book club because you’re all barking mad.

Wow, good call. Many of these look very interesting. Momentum mori esp. Thanks for sharing. ;)

Which one of these books sounds most interesting to you?

Would love to hear your take on this book: The Web of Meaning: Integrating Science and Traditional Wisdom to Find our Place in the Universe by Lent, Jeremy. It looks like it might be a big book, so maybe save it for a time when you are feeling better! Congratulations on your 10K subs as well.

Toastmasters made a massive change in my life.I'm always pleased to hear others with a shared experience.

Congrats for keeping up the work 🎉

Can normal people who didn't have physics in college read this?

I haven't read the book so thank you for your synopsis on it. Now I'm intrigued. My first question is why book the appointment after lunch why not take them to lunch. Make sure they ate right and they're going to be content. I like your reference to complicated as human beings are. One of the things I would say about Robert is that he is very expoundedtory and he brings you great understanding. Thank you so very much I really appreciate you

Congratulations Bjorn! I know, I went to your last video and was like did he just say "Kina?" But it came out more like "Sheena." I am not Swedish but study the language. "Ki" together makes the "Shhhh" sound usually. I am not Swedish but study the language. I am not reading anything Swedish right now but I am watching 'Bonusfamiljen.' 'The Bonus Family.' I have odd days where I am just too tired to read. Besides I am one of those people I rather be heard than seen. However, I will stick around for the reviews.

👍

gratz!

I am reading a book called Rescuing Socrates, it is about why we need great books. Best thing he has said: it is not about a list of great books but engaging deeply and interactively with great books, no matter the list they find themselves in ;)

recommendations on psychology or philosophy? Jung. His red Book and his Modern Man in Search of a Soul. Frankl you know? John Kaag wrote a book recently that I loved - hiking with Nietzsche. His American Philosophy is also great.

Congratulations!

Bjorn congratulations!

Congratulations! I think it would be pretty cool to see you cover some of the great fiction books like Dostoevsky. Honestly, I enjoy all your recommendations, so keep reading what you like :)

You did a great work and put a tremendous effort. on to the 100k 🎉 next year hopefully

Congrats on the 10K that is quite an achievement. Hopefully, I can get there soon.

What do you say? Should we do a book club read-a-long? What books do you want to see covered on the channel? boom! let's go! And thank you all for supporting the BookLab

Hahahaha I saw it the book atomic habbits you missed it 😂

I’m officially in your book club !

Bro why schould we read more about history when it is already written 😂

Haven't watched video yet, but Will Durant outlived Ariel, not the other way around. I don't recall when the last volume was published, but I'd guess the 1970's, a good decade before they passed in the 1980's. They did roughly envision two more volumes to bring the story up to the present day: the Age of Darwin and the Age of Einstein. Neither, alas, was finished.

I’m about to buy this book but, is it very scientific or not?

Please keep on reading ❤

how many books you completed Bjorn????????????

he loses credibility by using thinking as a type of flow. You think Kobe is stuck in his head when making the game winning 3 pointer?

I thought you were not making more book reviews, thank God I found your UA-cam channel. I just subscribed.

Who said that we read so we can live through others and learn more than we could living a single life alone without reading.... One famous quote that captures this idea is by **C.S. Lewis**: *"We read to know we are not alone."* Lewis believed that through reading, especially literature and biographies, we gain insight into the thoughts, lives, and experiences of others, which allows us to learn and grow vicariously. Another related quote is from **George R.R. Martin**: *"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one."* Martin highlights how reading enables us to experience countless lives, perspectives, and stories, enriching our own life beyond its singular experience. These quotes underscore the profound impact of reading on our ability to understand the world and the lives of others, extending our own life's reach through the vicarious experiences offered by books.

I wouldn't say, I study history not since college but try and build upon existing information or find pasterns. For example, I just finished 'Dark' not long ago. But I don't think, I thought so critically due to a TV show for a long time. Like, "One set of decisions not being made is the consequences of other decisions. And "We think, we have freedom or due we just repeat the samepattern over and over." I know this isn't history 100% but it does evoke some questions.

Right now, I have been trying to finish 'Meditations' by Marcus Aurelius. However, I haven't been that active with reading this summer due to a health issue, loss of family members, and personal self-reflection. But I am still hopping to finish the book before summer ends I hope.

I haven't read much history lately but I should finish 'Gulag' by Anne Applebaum at some point. The book is about the life in the Soviet Union.

I'd like to read more history, but Will Durant's series looks a bit too daunting for me. It does look interesting, but I just can't devote that much time to it. I'm a smart guy but a slow reader, so it would take me years to get through something like that. I don't think I need all the details Durant provides. Thanks for the video. It inspires me to check out the series and to shop around for something more digestible.

What’s your approach to studying history and what history books do you recommend? 🤔 📚

'When the logic of violence changes, society changes'. This quote was a massive eye-opener for me. Love the way they outline the contexts. Lord William Rees-Mogg was an incredibly clever guy

can confirm this is a book EVERY human being should read ( to better understand yourself )

Terrific book. Section 2 is a bit overly long and repetitive, but the writing never ceases to be intriguing and informative.

Yeah, impressive man he is.

Great review and analogy
