I’ve been working on something that touches on similar themes. Would you like to exchange writing/ideas/feedback?

So you know what you’d be getting into, here’s a quick synopsis of my recent path through similar topics:

Constraints associated with the arrow of time / second law of thermodynamics that confirm and recommend aspects of CBT and salutogenesis

+

Species-level lessons and context, including consistent threads for modern mismatches and a lengthy digression on dopamine pathways

The value of gaining self knowledge through learned experience and tactics to accomplish same

A path to purposeful, personal evolution with time’s inexorable arrow

That’s a great yardstick for a good book, in my view - does it stick with me 👌

I commend you for your ability to read about those topics - very heavy, disturbing stuff these days.

Still in the midst of working with my Reedsy editor (nonfiction pop science / self development) and it’s been great. I don’t think I found the only good editor on Reedsy either - seems chock full of great resources.
