鈥淚 saw 听in an airport, picked it up, flicked through a couple pages, and had to buy it. It鈥檚 written in a blunt, to-the-point way, which I enjoyed. Mansonincludes a lot from the teachings of Buddha and how it relates to our modern-day selves. It鈥檚 a good one for the shelf, so you can pick it up from time to time and remember what you should be giving a f鈥攃k about.鈥


The Golden Spruce, by John Vaillant

鈥淭his is a story of a man who saw both sides of the logging industry in British Columbia and protested in a heartbreaking way. It includes stories from the indigenous people and their battles with the newcomers. It鈥檚 a good way to educate yourself on the history of the area and how logging has shaped and destroyed this province. It鈥檚 the 听I鈥檝e ever had a hard time putting down.鈥
