    What you get out of reading to grandkids counts many times over.

    Funny you can get both boys to quit watching videos to go read before bed, could be the chocolate milk. But it is funny my wife has all the old books of her childhood. Little Lulu and her friend Tubby.

    Listened to “the art of learning”. By Josh Waitzkin

    Interesting, a couple relevant points to chew on.

    I like Buddhism you may f up and be an a-hole but as long as you strive to do better all good.

    I read the New Testament back in my twenties probably worth another read.

    Why Buddhism is real by Robert Wright is a decent intro to Buddhism philosophy.

    The Wim Hof Method by Wim Hof.

    I listened to this one.

    Cold and hyperventilation for the win. Some good stuff in there maybe but I haven’t looked at the “science” yet so I reserve judgement.

    48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene.
    I enjoyed it. Took me awhile to get into it but I’m glad I stuck with it.
