What you reading these days?

Thought I'd start a thread about books worth reading. They don't have to be Sikhi related.

 

I picked up:

Confessions of an economic hit man by John Perkins. 

 

Have been told it's a must read.

 

 

[MrDoaba]

Confessions by Saint Augustine of Hippo, so far so good, will update as I go along. Amazing some of the ish he said.

That book I mentioned (Confessions of an economic hit man by John Perkin), is mind blowing as well as terrifying. Everyone should read it. Will stick up a few extracts when I get a sec.

** THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER **

A GUIDE TO USING THE SCIENCE OF THE BODY CLOCK TO CREATE THE OPTIMUM PERSONAL ROUTINE: SLEEP BETTER, WORK BETTER, FEEL BETTER.

'A superlative guide to some of the most intriguing questions of human existence' - Bill Bryson, author of The Body: A Guide for Occupants

'Who knew our body clocks determined so much of our health, happiness, and lifespan?I learned so much' - James Nestor, author of Breath  

In the twenty-first century, we increasingly push our daily routines into the night, carrying out work, exercise and our social lives long after dark. But we have forgotten that our bodies are governed by a 24-hour biological clock which guides us towards the best time to sleep, eat and think. 

In Life Time, Professor Russell Foster shares his life's work, taking us on a fascinating and surprising journey through the science of our body clocks. Using his own studies, as well as insights from an international community of sleep scientists and biologists studying circadian rhythms, he illustrates the surprising effects the time of day can have on our health, including:

- how a walk outside at dawn can ensure a better night's sleep
- how eating after sundown can affect our weight
- the extraordinary effects the time we take our medication can have on our risk of life-threatening conditions, such as strokes

In the modern world, we have neglected an essential part of our biology. But with knowledge of this astonishing science, we can get back into the rhythm, and live healthier, sharper lives.
