Emily Nagoski
Blanca González Villegas
In 'Come as You Are', Emily Nagoski and Blanca González Villegas delve into the latest scientific research on human sexuality, offering insights and practical advice to improve sexual well-being. The book addresses various aspects of sex, including desire, arousal, and the complexities of sexual response, aiming to help readers understand and enhance their sexual experiences.
Atomic Habits
James Clear
Atomic Habits by James Clear provides a practical and scientifically-backed guide to forming good habits and breaking bad ones. The book introduces the Four Laws of Behavior Change: make it obvious, make it attractive, make it easy, and make it satisfying. It also emphasizes the importance of small, incremental changes (atomic habits) that compound over time to produce significant results. Clear discusses techniques such as habit stacking, optimizing the environment to support desired habits, and focusing on continuous improvement rather than goal fixation. The book is filled with actionable strategies, real-life examples, and stories from various fields, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve their habits and achieve personal growth[2][4][5].
Buddhism without beliefs
Stephen Batchelor
In this book, Stephen Batchelor argues that the Buddha's teachings are not something to believe in but something to practice. He suggests that Buddhism should be stripped of its metaphysical and religious elements, such as reincarnation and karma, to reveal a more existential, therapeutic, and liberating agnosticism. Batchelor emphasizes that the Buddha's teachings are about understanding the nature of anguish, letting go of its origins, and creating a way of life that is available to everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs. The book includes simple meditation exercises and encourages readers to engage with Buddhist principles in a practical and meaningful way[1][2][4].
