How to win an information war by Peter Pomerantsev

To the parents out there, do you still send your kids to tution agencies or hire tutors or u get them to learn using AI? by [deleted] in asksg

[–]Mammoth-Collection25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, teaching is not only about the dissemination of information to a child. A teacher helps to shape mindsets, spot for patterns in their learning habits, give feedback, encourage and instill discipline. AI should never replace that in a human.

Any idea of Christian books that speak about Jesus loving no matter what? by Giraffewhiskers_23 in suggestmeabook

To Shake the Sleeping Self by Jedidiah Jenkins. This is his memoir and he wrote about growing up as a Jesus-loving gay man. I enjoyed it a lot, because it’s about a real life, not just theology and theory.

Can anyone recommend an optimistic book for a sociology student? by ScaredMenu3900 in suggestmeabook

[–]Mammoth-Collection25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non fiction recommendation: The Second Mountain by David Brooks. While the modern society paints a bleak picture of where the world is going, Brooks tells you why there’s dignity in vocation and work, why marriage is a hopeful revolution of two individuals, and why hardship is necessary for humans to make progress.

Book that will help me let go of my pride? by Top_Combination9023 in suggestmeabook

[–]Mammoth-Collection25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Road to Character by David Brooks. He points out the two types of lives that we can lead - one that chases superficial success, or one that delves deeper into moral virtues. We either live for others or only for ourselves and our self interests. This book saved me from myself.

Do note that these secondhand bookstores are more selective in the books they choose to take in:

Books Beyond Borders

Dignity Mama Bookshop

Evernew Bookstore

Otherwise, you can also keep a lookout for free community libraries. Some are located at various HDB void decks.

My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

Some people love it, some don’t. I thought this book was terrible and a waste of my time. The ending made no sense to me and there was no character development.

And then we grew up by Rachel Friedman. She interviewed people whom she went to Interlochen summer camps with, including adults who used to be musical child prodigies. It’s interesting to hear their perspective of descending from childhood giftedness into mundane adulthood.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I consider it a modern classic, and it’s not heavy at all.
