  • How to Read A Book 1

    I started this book late last week after finishing the Cancer Code. I may write up the Cancer Code at some point, but for now I don't think there's a lot of benefit in doing so. The book explores the history of Cancer treatment and how this disease has been much harder to understand and therefore find a treatment, …

    Never wrote anything. Says something about how I was feeling. :frown:

    I've been thinking a lot about how to get started with my notes, and the implications of such. The thing is, for you the casual browser, the organization of my notes won't matter. For you, the links will be how you navigate the notes. I think my interaction with the system, will be more on file side, so where and how I …

    I will say that I'm very much a sucker for this kind of book. As someone who is excited about trying to improve myself, a book that is basically about how it's good for you and thus far some practical ways to get other people who are at least a little interested in the idea on board as well sounds great. Now, if …

    I think it's really interesting when books you are reading end up having unexpected commentaries on your life. I'm not sure if my struggles are vastly different from most people, but for some time I feel like I have a bit of an identity crisis. Maybe it's a midlife deal. Maybe recent loss has brought it to the surface …

    I'm not sure this book so far is quite what I expected, but I think that's a good thing. After stumbling on the prior book, this one is much more in the vein of what I needed. The book seems pretty well researched with lots of citations from some studies and authors I'm familiar with, so it seems like a better fit for …

    So, I think in the last post I had started working through a book called Bliss Brain. Today I finally finished the second chapter, and I'm going to move on. It's not worth it to me to add to this site. I was looking for something different. I'm not sure who the audience for this book. For me, it was really …

    I took a jump and made several notes. I think this will work okay, but I think it'll take a few links to figure out of my structure will work. I wish I was more confident about this, but hopefully with some practice a flow will emerge. It is helpful to add TK (to come) notes into my structure. I haven't figured out a …

    Maybe the 3rd time is the charm. I'm still creating too much structure on my notes. I think it's that I'm worried something is going to come along and upend the structure, but honestly I just need to start trusting it. Also, I realized that my first note, that was going to be about the human condition, should probably …

    So, in the day since I've posted, I've been rethinking my permanent notes,and I don't think what I have will work. I've made something that is not generalizable. I was thinking about it this morning and that's the term I need to focus on. It's not about making an argument at this level- it's about trying to take …
