Welcome to Litsy!

Short and concise book on mind and consciousness.

I liked the emphasis on homeostasis, the definition of mind and mental images, and the distinction between mind and consciousness.

There‘s not enough time
To learn all I want to know
And yet still I‘ll try

I did a lot of nodding and “yep”ing as I listened to this one, about how a subset of American society has turned against the knowledge of experts (and no doubt it‘s happening elsewhere, too). He doesn‘t offer solutions, which is of course frustrating, but then the first step to problem solving is acknowledging the problem. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, @Riveted_Reader_Melissa !

Never throw anything out!

This is a great book for kids who hate to brush their teeth. #ISpyBingoNovember @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks

First a stop at Books Are Magic and now some ice cream. Love visiting a new-to-me bookstore on a trip! #BooksAreMagic

“You'll always need to use multiple platforms to move your projects forward. No single platform can do everything. The intention here is not to use a single software program, but to use a single organizing system, one that provides consistency even as you switch between apps many times per day.” 🤯

This book was as depressing as it was interesting. Notably it was written before the pandemic so today‘s reader is left feeling like there‘s a lot missing from the discussion. However the points made still feel spot on as someone who works for a firm where thought leadership used to be a big part of our business.
