Welcome to Litsy!

Final reading crawl stats… 190 pages in 3 hours!!

Did a reading crawl with my book bestie today… a great way to spend a Saturday!!

Look at people like you look at a sunset. 🌅

I'm a third of the way through a 12-hour online conference: "The Future of the Person-Centred Approach: How to Serve a Changing World" and it's been by turns intense, dull and fascinating. A bit hard for my ADHD to maintain focus when people are rambling, despite being totally focused on another person is what I do for a living (or perhaps because of ?)

Heck yes I am!

as long as you are enjoying what youre reading who cares how or what you read #readinglife #reader

This little book is the translation of a famous speech Sartre gave (Paris, 1946) to further expound on his philosophy. I think it‘s perfect for anyone wanting an explanation of existentialism. I do not agree with this philosophy primarily because I think it underestimates the importance of the situation a person is born into. Nevertheless, it was an interesting read.

I was finishing this heavyweight nonfiction title about human enlightenment just as the Israel crisis began. I was feeling like everything in this age was great with the caveat of the ever present racism, social injustices, and on and on…but then.
Pinker makes the case that we‘re living in the best time possible and that humans will only continue to get smarter, better able to deal with death and disease and hopefully live in peace.⬇️
