Why brain rot is a problem (and how I’m dealing with it)

[@TheReadWellPodcast]

👋Welcome to my reading room! Let me know what you thought of this video - decided to go low key here with no fancy edits. Just you, me, and some great books. If you found it helpful, I'd love to hear why. And if not, feel free to tell me where I screwed up. 😂 I'm all ears, and happy reading. Until next time, read slowly - take notes - apply the ideas. -Eddy

I can't thank my parents, teachers and mentors enough for inculcating the love of reading in me at a very early age. Now I always challenge myself to read harder books, especially those dealing with philosophy : Humes, Locke, Aristotle, Plato, Marcus Aurelius, Xeno etc. Anna Karenina and War and Peace weren't hard reads at all. Henry James, Virginia Woolf and James Joyce I find challenging.

[@TheReadWellPodcast]

Yes! I love these thinkers. The Republic is in my top five favorite books of all time. Hume is a blast to read as well. Thank you for dropping me a note. I appreciate it.

Definitely dealing with The Brain Rot this time of year! Thanks for the advice!!

[@TheReadWellPodcast]

Thanks for the comment, Steven! It’s great to hear from you.

read Anna Karina during college and it's still one of my all time favorites.... I really need to read it again, but I really like what you're saying. Good Job

[@TheReadWellPodcast]

It’s a great book. Thanks for connecting. Have a great night.

I completely agree. Hard books are so good for my brain. Anna Karenina feels like cheating because it's easy to read 😊 The characters are what makes it hard.

[@TheReadWellPodcast]

Yeah, it’s a mental hurdle for some because of the size, but the writing is so good that it’s a pleasure to read.

@TheReadWellPodcast i welcome the long (classic) novel! It's a challenge. You know it's going to kick your B and leave you pondering life.

Sartres one of the easier philosophers, try Hegel

[@TheReadWellPodcast]

🙌🏻Yeah, that’s very true. There’s always a more complicated book. 😂

I was a little thrown off when you started quoting several French leftist philosophers, including at least one who advocated pederasty. The Gulag Archipelago on your boookshelf saved you. Maybe. (Along with others, but that's one of the first ones that catches the eye.) But the fact that you cited those as your favorites throws up red flags (pardon the pun.)

[@TheReadWellPodcast]

Fair point. I don’t agree with everything they, or any philosophers, say for that matter. I’m also very interested in all sides which is why I recently posted an interview with Dr. Michael Huemer on his new book Progressive Myths. At the end of the day, I’m interested in interesting people, books, and conversations. Thanks for watching and the comment.
