Book Rx # 5 - Notes from the Underground - by Fyodor Dostoevsky
The act of getting lost on a spiral of pessimistic rumination is, often, classified as a disease. But negative self-talk is also, if you look at it from a certain angle, some unique form of art.

Definetly it's more a "journey" than a mere book! I always try to recommend it to anyone I know, specially because some chapters can be read as standalone novellas.

Read this book recently and the after effects have been pretty intense. Peoples' lives, peoples' lives. Men, women, children. Rich and poor. Pious and reckless. Kind and ugly. Struggling and greedy. It just has everything.

My latest read. This is an important book. The two authors are a prominent climate scientist & a medical researcher. The book details who, how & why science is being undermined. When climate & vaccination science are weakened, as they are now, the consequences are terrifying. 1/2 #booksky #NYPL

Here I'm trying to make a case in favor of Bibliotherapy with an important caveat: big, complex life questions need good literature (like James Baldwin), not best-seller self-help "easy steps". #nonfiction #booksky #booktok
Book Rx #2 - Go Tell It on the Mountain - James Baldwin
A classic novel that serves as a masterclass to understand intergenerational trauma, and how the past of our families and countries are shaping who we are now
