This book had interesting stuff. But I do not think it will help with overthinking at all. It is feels like some one read a bunch of books then re wrote them to fit this book. ]]> ReadStatus9153294748 Thu, 06 Mar 2025 04:21:03 -0800 <![CDATA[Matthew is currently reading 'Blindsight']]> /review/show/7380175951 Blindsight by Peter Watts Matthew is currently reading Blindsight by Peter Watts

Matthew liked Kelley's review of The Overstory:
The Overstory by Richard Powers
"I listened as I gardened the entire spring and half that summer. It iwas not easy. I wanted to pause and reread often. A skill yet perfected. I backed up entire chapters. Repeatedly. Started the book again. It never got boring. When nearing the end I was so bonded to the book and experience I felt like I was saying goodbye to friends.

"Books are my friends." Bobi Morgan"
