I wish I had the patience to share the books as you do. It is desperately important for us to read, and learn to think critically. We will not get there reading pop fiction and mindless self-help. We have evolved to needing deeper insights, and that requires us to engage deeply with the material, and the material must be up to the depth.
Hello Bjorn. I have read a few psychology books and took classes. I found they have helped in certain areas. Also, I have been thinking, well in my opinion, a lot of people when they get older seem to not want to rekindle old relationships much. (myself included). Probably, because it’s a lot of emotional effort to invest and takes a lot of mental energy to detach. For example, I had a friend (he was a Swede). I learned about the culture and it takes longer to warm up which I am okay with. Almost half my heritage is East and West Slavic. And I am an introvert mostly so, I was like, he gets to me when he can. But it’s been almost two decades and I felt I gave more of myself than I was getting of him. Therefore, last week, I told him it was best I didn’t stay in contact with him. I wasn’t rude and wished him well. The initial act of letting my attachment go was the hardest part but feel I can slowly move forward. I was upset. I don’t know many Swedes. However, than, I thought, it’s ridiculous. Learning about the culture and the language can make one ‘Swedish’ in a sense. Honorary Swede lol. But one person doesn’t define a whole culture. I am still going to learn Swedish regardless. I had an interest in Swedish long before I knew him.
3:20 Great recommendation Mate _ I would recommend his In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts(apply the insights to many aspects of addictive personalities) book even more so. I like his Myth of Normal last year but his take on psychedelics is plain wrong. Wow - we read almost the same books.. Funny I just downloaded the 'In the Shallows' ;)
