Aussie Aussie Aussie! Books Books Books! Want a collection of some of the best Australian books, I got you covered. I read 8 books this month and 5 of these are considered classics while the other 3 are more modern. I had lots of fun diving into the world of Australian literature and found out that we actually have some good authors, both in the past and present. Worth giving them a check out if you're feeling patriotic!
As always, I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!

In today's bonus episode we have some additional notes taken by Kyrin while reading Plato's 'Republic'. These expand upon some of the deeper themes encountered in the book and there were not covered in the previously released episode of the actual book review. These include: Kyrin's personal opinions on 'justice' and the treatment it received in the dialogues, game theory and how modern knowledge and techniques can be applied to age old questions and the defects in Socrates' arguments as well as some of his faulty assumptions.

Can seem somewhat repetitive but I quite liked this section about how to approach life.

Is it possible for humans to extend their life span, possible even to reverse ageing altogether? 'Superhuman' by Dave Asprey is his explanation of how we can increase our life span and stop the aging process. His approach is scientifically driven and he delves deeply into the research to back up his claims. The main themes of the book are on the Seven Pillars of aging that contribute to our decline and the simple interventions that can be used to stop this process.
Juan summarised the book as follows. "It is a goddamn technical book. There was a page or two where he got very specific and detailed that I just had to skip by. A lot of information and takeaways but you have to work for them. The book is well written and Dave himself comes across as a funny and likeable guy, when he is not deep diving into the actual science. I felt like there was plenty of practical and implementable techniques to use for myself."
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
