COPE 27 posted:The definitive answer would be Shoshanna Zuboff "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" Much obliged, looks great, thanks! Does anyone have any recs for books about intentionally rethinking or intentionally redesigning your life that have actually good advice and minimum of self help waffle? Trying to think of a way to reclaim as much of my mental autonomy as I can in this time with so much making it difficult

MisterBear posted:Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans This is exactly the book that I had heard vaguely about but forgotten. Spent an audible on credit on it, thanks for the rec!

I’m looking for a good book about ‘co-counselling, “a grassroots method of personal change based on reciprocal peer counselling”.. sort of a peer-to-peer horizontal way of offering effective psychological support to others in a non-hierarchical way. Or any books about similar. Merci beaucoup, my fair goons

I’m in the UK so it’s not really necessarily a US-based history I was imagining.. I was under the impression the left/right concept had its start in the French Revolution so before communism and Marx etc. Wasn’t so much looking for histories of specific American anticommunist activities per se tho I can how they’d be relevant to the subject. Not entirely sure what I’m looking for myself here so can only offer these vague intimations  . Any recommendations appreciated

That’s okay I still appreciate the effort put into your post there! And it could well be relevant as I’m kinda grasping in the dark as to what I’m even asking or looking for answers to! But anyway on another topic I was also looking for criticisms of Buddhism, Buddhist philosophy, Buddhist exceptionalism etc in the way the Abrahamic religions have been criticised and deconstructed in recent years. I’ve been in the process of leaving Buddhism for kinda a while now and am looking for useful resources to help me along with that.

Kenning posted:It's not that exactly, but you might appreciate This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom by Martin Hägglund. He deals with the philosophical underpinnings of what he calls "religious faith" (in contrast to his idea of "secular faith") in a broad sense, and deals with Buddhism as well as the Abrahamic traditions. It's a powerful philosophical argument against the pursuit of a sort of final result (salvation, nirvana, "heaven") as being strictly undesirable and meaningless in terms of our understanding of what human existence is. It's a moving and thought-provoking philosophical text, and he manages to hold the through line in a pretty clear way while developing a fairly sophisticated argument. I've reread it several times. Looks interesting, thanks!
