Join 📚 Jim's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Jim's read, .
When you feel the onset of worrisome thoughts, understand that your brain needs some of that sweet, sweet activity and give it some. Read a book. Take a walk. Do the dishes. Clean the living room. Watch a good TV show. Start a conversation with someone (just don’t talk about the thing you are worried about). Anything, literally anything! To overcome worry you have to redirect your train of thoughts. Change the channel in your brain.

A Natural Approach to Mental Wellness
Gregg Krech
The overarching logic of all industry metrics is exactly the same as GDP; the only thing that matters is growth, growth, growth, no matter the collateral damage along the way. Unrestricted scaling is a vision of infinite growth based on identifying previously unrealised forms of enclosure, and also a claim to forms of knowledge that will reach beyond human understanding.
