@renaui thanks for the recs! Watts book is quite philosophical but helped shift my perspective. also found Advice Not Given by Mark Epstein valuable around those themes

Sam Sager

popularized by Dr. Herbert Benson in his work around the "Relaxation Response" one of many techniques he shares to counteract chronic stress s/o to @TheBreathingDi1 for sharing this concept with me earlier this week

@cowwedoin @chargrysolle ahh i know the feeling! may be time to go directly to the Tao Te Ching if you haven't already. Stephen Mitchell translation is a good entry point (Ursula Le Guin one also great) also fun to read non-doing books in diff domains. here's one on gardening: https://t.co/3gHHCW8I3o

@tinyrevver @yesyesagnes a book about yoga that includes this quote: sign me up! have you read the great work of your life by Stephen cope? It’s where I first encountered this quote and interesting he also has another amazing book about yoga (in the broadest sense of the word)

@aspiringpeasant so so good. i couldn't put it down. have been hunting for more like it if you have other recs check out Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson if you haven't read it. it's not as light as Hail Mary but includes regenerative ecosystems on the spaceship and some similar themes
