A great book club book raising questions of regret or what you would do if you could change any choice in your life. Great for some lively discussions.

Good variety and well organized

Excellent material to be used with fellow dads. I enjoyed the content to share with my fellow dads and extended friends.

Generally seemed like good advice but I disliked that most of the advice stemmed from individual case studies and therapy but didn't involve large group statistics and peer reviewed with long-term tracking of effects. This May be the limits of the field but only basing recommendations on low n cases seems unreliable.

General Precepts on Pleasure, Pain, and the Path to Addiction

This was an informative book, less about digital addiction than I had hoped but still a good primer on steps those on the path to addiction can take to avoid it.

Insightful Ideas

This book offers a compelling analysis of the underlying causes of dysfunction in our society. Tim draws on a wide range of disciplines, including history, sociology, psychology, and economics, to explore the root causes of societal problems such as political polarization, income inequality, and systemic racism. He emphasizes the roots of our problems are based in our mental tools that served us well in antiquity but are getting hijacked in our modern age. He goes into depth on the on issues afflicting both sides of the political spectrum and how human psychology is preventing society from not catering to our basest impulses. And the drawings are fun but deeply thought provoking. Loved it.
