For all the progress updates in one place:
Progress Update: January 2025
Here are the books I read/listened to for my research during January 2025
A Therapeutic Journey
The School of Life
How to be Authentic (On Simone de Beauvoir)
How to Live an Extraordinary Life
Simone Weil: Late Philosophical Writings (Sections only)
Introducing: Existentialism
Reframe your Brain
What Does it All Mean?
A Life Worth Living (Albert Camus Biography)
Notes:
The best of the month was “How to Be Authentic” by Skye Cleary. It’s a book on Simone de Beauvoir’s philosophy, written by an excellent writer (and overall badass) who also has a great course on existentialism called “Existentialism and the Authentic Life.”
If you’re into existentialism in general, go for the course, but if you want to focus more on Simone de Beauvoir, read this book.
