“Scarcity Brain” by @Michael_Easter reveals the evolutionary foundations behind our brain’s fixations so that we can recognize the trap, get out of it and embark on journey of living more satisfying, healthier and meaningful life. Highly recommend it!

1) Scarcity Brain (cues):
2) Scarcity Loop:
- An opportunity to get something of value that improves our life.

“This book is in his top 3 of all time.
In this book, Dr Anna Lembke explains dopamine, pleasure, addiction, and human nature. It has real science, clinical descriptions and relevance and practical tools. Phenomenal!”
“Brave New Words” by Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy, is an important, optimistic and invaluable guide on how generative AI will transform education and learning. I would highly recommend it to everyone.
Here are 6 key lessons from the book:
1) When it comes to technology and education, it is not that technology is good or bad, it is how you use it that matters.
2) When a new hot new technology comes out, it is important to not use it simply because it is "cool."
We have to think about what important problems this technology might be able to help solve.
