From nonfiction: Determined by Sapolsky, The Blind Watchmaker by Dawkins, The Denial Of Death by E. Becker, The Great Delusion by J. Mearsheimer, Corruptible by Brian Klaas, Between Death and Dying by Neal Nicol. I recommend them all.
23 books read. Some highlights: Václac Havel - Een poging om in de waarheid te leven (english: Living in truth) Peter Boghossian - How to Have Impossible Conversations Steven Pinker - The Sense of Style
@@mariaradulovic3203 corruptible sounds fun. I am on the verge of binge buying capital market regulation books and banking books. I recently got excited to study the history of banking and the laws around banking.
@barrichello83 I loved the sense of style, especially because I went to a school filled with prescriptive teachers. Pinker opened my eyes on writing style, and that book has soo many good references for further reading.
I think Steve Coll's "Ghost Wars" is a fantastic history of events that would ultimately culminate in 9/11. Excellent for understanding US foreign policy and Geopolitics in that part of the world. I also have a copy of the same history of Afghanistan as you do, haven't gotten to it yet.
@joshadams1551 I have a video that I will make to explain this. But for now, it is not mood based. It's usually I want to learn a topic and I then binge buy all books related to the topic and slowly go through them. I.e. I recently finished my Afghan history stack, which was 5 or 6 books on general Afghan history. I am currently doing that with Albania now.
@mariaradulovic3203 I am a pragmatist. So I find free will a more useful concept for my personal experiences. Whether it is true or not, in the libertarian sense, I could not say.
I liked Confessions as well, but read it a few years ago. I read a book called Dance Therapy by Joan Chodorow that takes an interesting perspective on Psychoanalytic therapy by using dance and body movement as a method of accessing the subconscious. Other than that, my reading year was pretty boring. I also started reading a lot of books that I never ended up finishing.
what books did you read in 2024?
I read books, and It should be the only good thing that I had preferably done in the foregoing year.

You said your app told you. Is there a specific app that can keep track of books you read?
@@Huck1873 StoryGraph!
Do you have a system for how you balance all of your reading interests or is it just mood based?

Avg books you read each year? Your collection is always impressive.
@nclon11 I think 30ish. I use to do 40 but I play piano now, and I spend a lot of time studying math. So it's come down over the years.
How do you discover books?
@mohammedwajith1416 the algorithm on IG, on Amazon, via other authors citing books, and through key word searches.
Are u determinist?

The book's title is actually Dance Therapy and Depth Psychology: The Moving Imagination
@@SubjectivelyTrue unfinished books drive me insane. They feel like road blocks to my next goals. Lol.
