PhD week 15, 27 December 2021 – 2 January 2022: New year and resting

I took it easy this week and will have to continue resting for another week probably.

Even so, it was New Year’s Eve and as always I recorded a little summary of the books I read during the past year.

Schedule

S left on Thursday, so I went there several times to pick up stuff and to meet him. A good last week and a good start of something new!

Reading

I finished Foucault’s History of Sexuality in the last days of 2021, and when I felt I could read a bit more again, I started with:

• Illouz, Eva. 2012. Why Love Hurts: A Sociological Explanation.: Introduction, p. 1-17.

I immediately liked this one, which was recommended by my supervisor.

Articles

In the end-of-year closing of browser tabs (gotta make that end-of-work-week instead) I found these sweet posts:

• Ali Abdaal: Be content to be thought foolish
• Louis Chew:
  • The Spotlight Effect: Why No One Else Remembers What You Did
  • Theodore Roosevelt: Win By Being The Man In The Arena

Film

• Ramen Teh (Eric Khoo, Japan/Singapore, 2018): Uneven start develops into cry fest.
