I checked out Thrive: the third metric to redefining success and creating a life of well-being, wisdom, and wonder by Arianna Huffington. It’s mostly common sense. “We must slow down, reflect and relish each moment, unplug devices and give.” I did get a laugh here and there. One quote was “No matter where you go, there you are.” (Buckaroo Banzai, a movie character from the cult film The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzia Across the 8th Dimension.)
Also have had From Moon Cakes to Mao to Modern China, an introduction to Chinese civilization out for over a month and haven’t gotten through it. It’s an overview of ALL things China and very interesting.
