Hi I am Javier, I am a 26 year old from spain, currently living in belgium, work as a bioinformatician. I am currently interested in music theory and composition and kickboxing.
I would recommend "How to be Idle" a book by Tom Hodgkinson, which was already recommended in this ubstack and has changed the way i see enjoyment of life in general (Maybe and overstatement, but it has definetly left a mark)
I would like to be jackie chan in any of his movies, he seems to enjoy every second of everything that happens to him, and there is always a happy outcome.
I enjoyed particularly the one called "who am I?" it was very insightful.
I am fine with the current Schedule, some times is a bit hard to keep up and I have skipped some, but I still think its a good shcedule.
This is the only Substack I read, so, that's that!
In general I don’t subscribe to Substacks, including this one. I don’t really care to get articles to read as e-mails. Instead, I do the rounds when I have time, checking a couple dozen blogs, many of them not on Substack, and usually find several new pieces to read. Plus I like to read reader comments, which of course are not part of an e-mail.
I think the first article I read here mentioned the documentary Wild, Wild Country, and I remember thinking, anyone paying attention to movies like that is probably worth following.
I don’t have any specific recommendations, although a useful exercise is to go back and re-read or re-watch things that you liked when young (childhood even) or strongly influenced you. Over the last several years I’ve re-read several books that I read as a child, such as Treasure Island and Robinson Crusoe, and was surprised at how good they still seem now. No wonder those two books have been made into so many movies and spinoffs (Lost in Space, etc.).
I also read Animal Farm, although I confess I had somehow never read that before, but now consider it Orwell’s masterpiece.
