The Big Picture – Carroll

November 10, 2019sebastiankade Leave a Comment

I have to admit that I’m a massive Carroll fanboy. I think he is an extremely intelligent person and an expert communicator. I love his thinking, his books, and his podcast. “The truth is that the ground has disappeared beneath… Continue Reading →

Consciousness – Koch

January 14, 2018sebastiankade 2 Comments

(Goodreads・Amazon) Hands down this is the most influential book I read in 2017. Koch covers the basics of the latest neuroscience research in a very humble, non-assuming way. He weaves in his own personal story about his search for truth.… Continue Reading →

A Philosophic Look at Love

October 28, 2016sebastiankade Leave a Comment

There are many books that look at applying the philosophy of Buddhism to everyday life, but this one by Christina Feldman is my favourite. Feldman does a great job of intertwining the basic Buddhist principles in with a mix of  insightful stories,… Continue Reading →

October 4, 2016sebastiankade Leave a Comment

Letters from a Stoic, is the kind of book you can flip open to a random page, throw your finger down without aim, and still land upon a maxim that you can live your life by. Like this one: “Am I to… Continue Reading →

On the Shortness of Life – Seneca

August 1, 2016sebastiankade Leave a Comment
