A Billion Wicked Thoughts
What the World's Largest Experiment Reveals about Human Desire
Sai Gaddam
Ogi Ogas
In this book, neuroscientists Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam analyze a vast amount of online data, including web searches, erotic stories, videos, and personal ads, to understand human sexual behavior.
Their research highlights the differences between male and female sexual cues, with men's brains resembling a 'reckless hunter' and women's brains acting like a 'cautious detective agency.
' The book provides insights into why men are attracted to images and why women's desires are harder to predict, offering a revolutionary understanding of human sexuality similar to Alfred Kinsey's work in the 1950s.
Man's Search for Meaning
Viktor Frankl
The book is divided into two parts.
The first part recounts Frankl's harrowing experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz, between 1942 and 1945.
He describes the inhumane conditions and the psychological and emotional struggles of the prisoners.
The second part introduces Frankl's theory of logotherapy, which posits that the primary human drive is the search for meaning, rather than pleasure.
Frankl argues that meaning can be found through three main avenues: work (doing something significant), love (caring for another), and suffering (finding meaning in one's own suffering).
The book emphasizes the importance of finding purpose and meaning in life, even in the most adverse conditions, as a key factor in survival and personal growth.
Mindset
The New Psychology of Success
Carol S. Dweck
In this book, Carol S. Dweck introduces the concept of two mindsets: the fixed mindset and the growth mindset.
People with a fixed mindset believe their abilities are static, while those with a growth mindset believe their abilities can be developed through effort and learning.
Dweck shows how these mindsets influence success in school, work, sports, and personal relationships.
She also discusses how to adopt a deeper, truer growth mindset, and how this can transform individual and organizational cultures.
The book emphasizes the importance of perseverance, learning from failures, and embracing challenges as key components of the growth mindset.
The obstacle is the way
Ryan Holiday
In 'The Obstacle Is the Way', Ryan Holiday presents a framework for turning obstacles into successes.
Drawing from the philosophy of Stoicism and the writings of Marcus Aurelius, Holiday outlines three disciplines: perception, action, and will.
He illustrates these principles with historical anecdotes from figures such as John D. Rockefeller, Amelia Earhart, Ulysses S. Grant, and Steve Jobs.
The book emphasizes the importance of perception in shaping one's response to obstacles, the need for intentional and creative action, and the cultivation of will to persist through challenges.
Holiday argues that by adopting these Stoic principles, individuals can transform their obstacles into opportunities for growth and success.

12 Rules for Life
An Antidote to Chaos
Jordan B Peterson
In this book, Jordan B. Peterson offers twelve profound and practical rules for living a meaningful life.
He argues that happiness is a fleeting and unpredictable goal, and instead, people should seek meaning as a defense against the suffering inherent in life.
The book is divided into chapters, each representing one of the twelve rules, such as 'Stand up straight with your shoulders back,' 'Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping,' and 'Pursue what is meaningful (not what is expedient).
' Peterson draws on examples from his clinical practice, personal life, cutting-edge psychology, philosophy, and ancient myths to provide a guide for personal improvement and coping with adversity.
The Power of Myth
Joseph Campbell
This book is derived from a series of television interviews between Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers, aired in 1988.
It delves into the universal themes and functions of myths across various cultures, highlighting their role in uniting communities, explaining social, cosmological, and spiritual realities, and guiding individuals through life's significant stages.
Campbell discusses how myths help people understand common human experiences such as love, death, and the search for meaning.
He also addresses the modern world's disconnection from mythological narratives and the consequences this has on individual and societal well-being.
