Mental health, thanks to The Blindboy Podcast, books on cognitive behavior therapy & transactional analysis, and a counselor who I pay their attention, consideration, and advice on other books to read (I find information from Blindboy and books the most actionable, and a counselor is a helpful reality-check so I don’t get lost in the weeds of exploration at the cost of iterating out of challenges I have some agency about).
Also learning about complexity science, ecology, and human culture over millennia.
- keeptrying 5y agoMeditate and chant. Look up SGI Buddhism or lookup Jhanas. Very different but both solid pathways. You’ll learn more than from any book. I would never have believed it until I tried. You can’t reason yourself into mental health but you can silence and focus yourself into it. WRT mental health Buddhism has forgotten more than what western science has figured out.
