Have you heard of, or stumbled upon, magically Internet money? Kiara Bickers’ Bitcoin Clarity is the solution to the struggle many people face when trying to understand Bitcoin. This method focuses on mental models, visuals, and systems thinking instead of code as a way to explain Bitcoin without price hype or industry jargon. Understanding Bitcoin doesn’t come by someone telling you exactly what Bitcoin is, but by giving you a new perspective to see it from.

For over a decade, philosopher and energy expert Alex Epstein has predicted that any negative impacts of fossil fuel use on our climate will be outweighed by the unique benefits of fossil fuels to human flourishing--including their unrivaled ability to provide low-cost, reliable energy to billions of people around the world, especially the world’s poorest people. And contrary to what we hear from media “experts” about today’s “renewable revolution” and “climate emergency,” reality has proven Epstein right.

saved me from nihilism
Reviewed: 07-05-22
I was deeply clinically depressed and very nihilistic about humanity's future on Earth. The environmentalists educational agenda and fear porn news media had taken their toll on me and used my empathy against me.
This book helped my realize that more fossil fuel use is required for flourishing of humanity. Alex brings the evidence to back up this imperative and moralistic fact.
I'm sharing the book far and wide.

In Everthing Is F*cked, Mark Manson turns his gaze from the inevitable flaws within each individual self to the endless calamities taking place in the world around us. Drawing from the pool of psychological research on these topics, as well as the timeless wisdom of philosophers such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Tom Waits, he dissects religion and politics and the uncomfortable ways they have come to resemble one another. He looks at our relationships with money, entertainment, and the internet, and how too much of a good thing can psychologically eat us alive.

I was "too clever" and the 12 steps were "too churchy" for me. I had it all figured out. This audiobook changed my thinking because Russell's story and his brutal honesty are so identifiable. This book is beautifully written! Deep cutting prose intermixed with belly laugh humor and the love of God.
I hope everyone with an addiction or those trying to understand addiction would listen to this book.

My gawd this book is amazing. Hearing the stories from their own mouth and readings from the list of celebs with Beasties cred is worth every penny or audible credit.
Snoop Dogg telling the story of the origin of Paul Revere by itself is a masterpiece.
RIP MCA. Beasties live forever!

When a pseudonymous programmer introduced “a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party” to a small Online mailing list in 2008, very few paid attention. Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralized software offers an unstoppable and globally-accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks. The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications.

Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

Our ancestors crossed deserts, mountains, and oceans without even a whisper of what anyone today might consider modern technology. Those feats of endurance now seem impossible in an age where we take comfort for granted. But what if we could regain some of our lost evolutionary strength by simulating the environmental conditions of our forbears? Investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney takes up the challenge to find out: Can we hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology?

I feel more alert, have lost weight, and have increased work capacity. I'll be listening again and recommending this book and Wim Hof method to anyone that will listen.
