I’m reading Stillness is the Key by Ryan Holiday. I’m up to the chapter Getting rid of your stuff. Not gunna happen. I do like the Stoicism philosophy though. I found How to be a Stoic by Massimo Pigliucci a good introduction. I read Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer last year. It is about Native American wisdom. Humans need to consider themselves part of the ecosystem instead of conquerors of an alien planet. The author is a scientist with Native American roots. She tries to find her place between cultures with a storytelling style. Thanks for your suggestions.
I have yet to read Ryan Holiday.
This month I read Plato's The Republic. It lays out the foundations of justice and how to be a good citizen.
I just started reading Nietzche, with the book Thus Speak Zarathustra. For now, it looks good.
Ryan Holiday has been on my to read list for so long!!
And I've been telling myself to start re-reading, but so far I have only re-read Harry Potter (like a million times :p)
Thanks for the recs Cal! Adding these to my list!
