Hey. I've started a new RU-vid channel, called Simon's Book Club. Every month, we'll be picking a book about the science of psychology, wellbeing, and consciousness, and I'll make an episode discussing it in length. I'm really into these books and ideas, and want to share my thoughts on, experiences with, and passion for them online.
Also, I'll be hosting book clubs for these books, both online and off-line. If you're interested in joining the book club, click here:
