I usually come to work 15-20 mins early and start by bringing up 7 or so tabs in my browser. I'll browse for 10mins or so save any longer article I'm interested in for later.What websites do you check every day?

Alcohol: usually just a couple drinks a month. A few times a year I'll drink enough to get a buzz.

Caffeine: Green tea every morning, occasionally a coffee with desert in the evening.

Have you read any other mindfulness or meditation books? Waking Up wanted me to read more in that area, but I'm not sure what to pick up next.

[1] We Are Legion We Are Bob (Bobiverse 1-3) - Just finished this trilogy and really enjoyed it! It's well paced, has a very likable protagonist and has a nice sprinkling of programming/CS humor.

[2] Guns, Germs and Steel - Can't believe I waited so long to check this off my list. Very thorough and well written argument about how geography and environment shaped the modern world.

[3] Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion - Scientific and philosophical reasoning for why the self is an illusion. Covers a lot of ground without getting too heavy: Buddhism, mediation, neuroscience, religion, and more.
