Attention Span by Dr. Gloria Mark

—

by

Reviewed Date: February 22nd, 2023 Interestingly, a book about attention doesn’t hold my attention at all.

God Delusion by Richard Dawkins

—

by

Reviewed Date: December 6th, 2023 After reading many history and evolution books, I understood that our ancestors invited God.

—

by

Reviewed Date: May 4th, 2023 I will address the elephant in the room: although the book has pointed out fundamental differences between men and women, I find some concepts are problematic and perpetuate stereotypes. I won’t say the book is complete trash; some topics are informative, but we shouldn’t leave the problematic stuff. Though the…

by

Reviewed Date: September 29th, 2025 Ever since I started reading books, I have been seeing this book. I never got to read it until recently.
