The Kindle Version of my book, Faith in Doubt, Is Live!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WCMLDRY For some reason, the physical version is still "in review" and it could take 3 days for Amazon to make a decision. But, since the Kindle version is now live, I don't think I have to worry about the contents being an issue. If anyone has a Kindle, it's now available! If you … Continue reading The Kindle Version of my book, Faith in Doubt, Is Live!

Progress Note: Writing A Book Is A Second Job
Fully completed revising and citing all of Part I, finished revising and citing the sections on Original Sin and Judaism, and currently in the process of revising and citing the section about Christianity for Part II.

Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance
Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance This book, by Psychologist Angela Duckworth, was very illuminating. I had heard of this book before thanks to having read Carol Dweck and Heidi Grant Halvorson's books, but I wish I had read this one before them because I feel that it provides the foundational basis for those … Continue reading Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance
Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert
10/10 This book is definitely worthy of its praise. Harvard Psychologist Daniel Gilbert provides some of the most incredible insights on how we misjudge our own behavior in the future and even go as far as to misinterpret the past. There's more depth in so many of these psychology books that I read that one … Continue reading Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert
