It’s incredible that I can acknowledge and relate to so many authors. One of the coolest things that I have taken in, while on this writing journey, has been improvement in my memory. And I genuinely love that so much. And I wish to continue and do a lot of cool things. I genuinely think this will be super incredible, and I wish to continue and do as many cool things as possible. And I’ve read a lot of books, and this is including books that I finished, that I ranked in a lower category, Rank 2, in my organization obsidian sheets. And I want to also go through them as well, because I was able to finish a lot of books, even if I cannot place all of them in Rank 1.

And for the next 15 more minutes, I want to go one by one, and see what actually sticks. One of the cool things that I recently learned, it’s on the topic of caffeine, in [[Michael Pollan]]’s book, [[Caffeine]]. And it was a short book, but I enjoyed learning with his discussion on Caffeine. I won’t go too in detail, because my purpose for writing this daily blog is so I can retain the memories of the authors of the books, rather then just stating what the book is about. You guys can actually read the book, if you guys are curious about that. But I genuinely do enjoy reading [[Michael Pollan]], and that’s why I started reading this book. And he has some other books that I’ve read, and that includes the plant book, [[This is Your Mind on Plants]], and I read another book of his, [[The Omnivore’s Dilemma]]. And I really do enjoy his perspective, and I think he is a really good author. 

And then I also finished another book, by one of my more recent favorite author, [[Robynne Chutkan]], called [[The Microbiome Solution]]. And I really like Robynne because she is super knowledgable about the stomach, and just the microbiome in general. She’s just a person who knows a lot about the body, and just really is curious about exploring it to its full potential. And the Microbiome solution is a book that rings true to what I want to understand in life, because I’ve also gone through a massive body journey, and I was able to lose around 60 lbs, so I know what the appropriate information can actually do for us, and it really does genuinely help us so much. And I really enjoyed reading this book as well, and I genuinely think [[Robynne Chutkan]] is such an amazing knowledgeable author/doctor.

And the next book that I want to talk about is [[Diane Poole Heller]]’s book [[The Power of Attachment]]. And I do really read a lot of science books, and psychology was one of the first subjects that really got me curious, back in AP Psychology, in High School, back in 2008. And that was such a journey, and The Power of Attachment is a good book, because it has foundational knowledge that I can reference, as I move forward. And one of the reasons I read any book nowadays, it’s because I just want to take in different perspectives. More than the core information, I want to understand why a specific person writes about the topic that they are writing about. And [[Diane Heller]] is a new author for me, and I don’t really recall any of her past books, and I gained a lot of insight into appropriate attachment styles. And everybody has their unique way of labeling different systems of attachment, and I appreciated Diane’s perspective as well. And these are the books that I finished in April.

In the month of May, I finished some more books, also ranked 2. I have already talked about all the rank 1 books, but they didn’t make it, to the blogs on this site, as I publish the blogs that I feel are most appropriate, and most serene, in the sense of my conversation. But the month of May. I also finished [[Expert Secrets]], by [[Russell Brunson]], and he’s another peculiar author, who knows a lot about selling products on websites. And since I have started a website, I’m like, ‘why not, let’s give this book a try, and try to get this guy’s perspective,’ and I haven’t been disappointed. Though I don’t know if I have been able to implement any of his strategies. Though I did remember the part of having a dream customer, and being able to convey what I want to sell, in writing format, because consciously thinking about thinking specifically really does help. And I am proof of that as well, since I do write everyday, no matter what. Because writing really does give me the most sense of serenity, and since I can easily convey what I feel, through streams of consciousness nowadays, it really has helped me gain leaps and bounds, in terms of perspective, and self belief.

And the last book of May, that I was able to finish, was the book [[The Fourth Phase of Water]], by [[Gerald Pollack]]. I’m not sure how I started reading this book, but it could have been a free book that audible had, in its premium section, but I have really learned a lot from this. Maybe in the future, if I reread this book, I will be able to understand more of it. This was a pretty cool book, on the history of and our understanding of how water is structured, at the chemical level. And it’s pretty cool, as I am super curious about chemistry as well, and just how quantum mechanics work. And it’s incredible to understand how the things that we take for granted, and the in-depth knowledge, the simplest things can have, when you just ask simple questions. And that is super incredible for me.

And nowadays, I can make sense of anything, because it’s all about how confident I feel, when I am going through my writing process. And right now, I feel really comfortable, and it’s been a long time, and I have realized we really don’t have to rush all the time. And part of me, I didn’t realize that for awhile. But deadline’s are important, but too many deadlines don’t help. And constant deadlines don’t help. As long as we manage our time appropriately, and break down specific tasks, then we can really enhance our mindsets. I recently thought about the book, [[Bird by Bird]], by [[Anne Lamott]], and it’s really one of the most fundamental books ever. Similar to [[Show Your Work]] by [[Austin Kleon]], and I believe with enough appropriate small actions, any big problem in the whole world can be solved, one little action at a time, one moment at a time.
