13 good links concerning the mind and mental health November, 2021

Here’s 13 good links on the mind and mental health I’ve gathered over the last few months. Most of them I’ve read at least twice.

1. An interesting idea:  Can a short behavioural boot camp really grind anxiety to dust?
2. A good way to think about feelings, from Austin Kleon:  What to do with your feelings.
3. I can’t vouch for this, but it is interesting:  How to Microdose Weed for a Super-efficient Subtle High.
4. On  Loneliness: coping with the gap where friends used to be.
5. A thoughtful study on loss and grief:  Nothing Could Prepare Me for Watching My Wife Slip Away.
6. This Theory Explains How Consciousness Evolved. Worth reading.
7. Also worth reading:  Why We Choose to Suffer
8. I found this really thought provoking:  What if emotions aren’t unniversal but specific to each culture?
9. I didn’t really agree with this, but it is worth reading:  The Difference Between Hope and Optimism
10. This was very sad:  LISA LUCAS: All the love in the world couldn’t save our son from drugs.
11. This is good to read after the one above, I think:   An Artist Describes His Brother’s Struggle.
12. This is a great way to approach things:  Everything is a Practice 
13. And finally:  The Empty Brain
