Progress: 7 down, 14 to go (list)
Which: How We Decide, Jonah Leher
I love this sort of how-it-works (but-sometimes-totally-doesn’t) reading. So engrossed was I, the book only took 2 days to read. (Lots of “huh!” and “whoa” as I read.)
Leher argues for examining your decisions — the hows and whys — in order to keep your gut reactions sharp. I like that argument; I’m a fan of the hard work, getting the basics right (running drills every time I swim, using a honing steel every time you break out the knives, etc.), so that laying the foundation, doing the grunt work becomes part of how you do.
Nota bene: I finished How We Decide in, uh, early February. I’ve not touched a book since. For a few reasons, one of which is definitely burnout. 7 books in just over 4 weeks? This isn’t senior year, gotta pace myself. (Hellooo Netflix Watch Instantly…)
