Just finished (audiobook) Projections by Karl Deisseroth. Each chapter a personal story about a distinct mental disease, using narrative and neuroscience to span the gulf between patient and caregiver. Deisseroth worked on innovative diagnostic techniques like optogenetics. A brilliant, deeply empathic writer. Left me both melancholic and weirdly optimistic.
After David Graeber's Debt: The 5000 Years reprogrammed my brain, I've been binging on anarchistic-libertarian and adjacent ideas. Such as The Dawn of Everything by Graeber and Wengrow, everything by Jill Lepore such as If Then and These Truths. Next up is Mine! by Heller and Salzman.
I'm slowly chewing thru the podcast The History of Philosophy without Any Gaps. Penance for ignoring this stuff in my youth.
Highest recommendation for the podcasts Know Your Enemy, Volts (David Roberts), 5-4 (fivefourpod.com), You're Wrong About, Capitalisn't, Corecursive. Really, there are so many worthy podcasts. These are most notable to me for how much they've influenced and changed my thinking.
