[quote=Anonymous]How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell. Outstanding, and hard to describe. Weaves together philosophy, literature, art, psychology, and so much more, all in a meditation on preserving your own mind and soul in a noisy society.

A Divine Language by Alec Wilkinson. Ostensibly a book about trying to learn calculus at age 65, it’s really an exploration of what math is, and by extension the universe, and also how we learn (or don’t).

Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman. Someone else on here recommended this book in a different thread and I seconded. It gets pitched as time management but it’s really about purposeful living.

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer
and also The Hidden Life of Trees by Pete Wohlleben. Both will give you new eyes to see the natural world that is all around you,

Any book by Carlo Rovelli, though his first — Brief Lessons in Physics — is my favorite.

If you haven’t read Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning, it really is worthwhile. I think about it all the time. [/quote]
