I have learned a lot about health during the last 3 months. And specifically, I’ve learned a lot because I have been able to use Obsidian a lot more, and have been able to utilize it properly to organize. And because I now use [[100 core terms]], with the help of ChatGPT, for every book that I read, it’s genuinely has helped me make a massive leap, in understanding how a lot of aspects of how our bodies work. And for me, I have been able to finish around 10 books, and actually figure out and organize all the [[100 Core Terms]], after getting some help from ChatGPT. And the book that really resonated with me, and the books that I finished organizing the most are: Outlive, by [[Peter Attia]], Oxygen, by [[Nick Lane]], The Secret Language of Cells by[[Jon Lieff]], The Song of the Cell, by [[Siddhartha Mukherjee]], Quench by [[Dana Cohen]], Slow Productivity by [[Cal Newport]], Healthy Brain by [[Wendy Suzuki]], Lifespan by [[David Sinclair]], Wim Hof Method by [[Wim Hof]], and Breath, by [[James Nestor]].
And I genuinely learned so much from these books, and right now I just want to discuss these books, and summarize some things that come about instantly in my head. I think the first thing that comes to mind is Dana Cohen’s discussion about the importance of hydration. And then Wim Hof’s talk about the importance of cold exposure. David Sinclair’s discussion on longevity, and what is possible with the discovery of the new tools in health science. As well as Peter’s Attia discussion on having an active lifestyle, as well as conditioning your body, so you can live longer.
I also have a lot thoughts about how we can actually have good productivity. And I think Cal Newport’s Slow Productivity was pretty awesome, in the realms in how we can achieve more, when we work, especially when we are able to focus the most. And [[Siddhartha Mukherjee]]’s The Song of the Cell was also pretty amazing, because he really went very in-depth, into how the human body works. And his description of all the different types of cells in the body, it was super amazing to me. And I also loved the Secret Language of Cell as well, by [[Jon Lieff]], it’s similar to The Song of the Cell, but it’s more in-depth about cell biology. And I learned a lot from that as well. And now, I do have full reference to all these books, and I am super excited to learn more, as I continue my reading journey, into the things that really excite me.
And I think it’s going to be spectacular, especially because I am still long away from becoming what I want to be, but I know I have to enjoy each day, to the maximum potential possible. And [[James Nestor]]’s Breath book definitely helped me gain some perspective on the importance of proper breathing, and the different forms that help us really get in tuned with ourselves. And I also loved Oxygen as well, by [[Nick Lane]], because that was super cool to learn about, and the history of how we have come to know so much about oxygen. It’s a given knowledge of what oxygen is nowadays, but at one point, this didn’t exist, and we didn’t actually have chemistry, but now that we understand chemistry, the simple things that our ancestors evolved from, it all originated with help of oxygen, and how we organisms evolved over the ages. And how we have more enhanced lifeforms, that genuinely use oxygen maximally, to enhance our capabilities as organisms. And that is super cool to me. And I hope to keep learning cool things, as I look back upon even more cool books.
