Title: Misbelief: What Makes Rational People Believe Irrational Things

Author: Dan Ariely

Publisher: Harper

Release Date: 9.19.23

Sometimes I just need to read about how other people are dealing with irrationality and combating the onslaught of misinformation to feel the tiniest bit better about the dumpster fire of the American news cycle. 

Title: Care: The Highest Stage of Capitalism

Author: Premilla Nadasen

Publisher: Haymarket

Release Date: 10.10.23

I took a class called The Commodification of Care in college. This text is pretty much that course crammed into a single book. 

Title: Surrounded by Energy Vampires: How to Slay the Time, Joy, and Soul Suckers in Your Life

Author: Thomas Erikson

Publisher: St. Martin's Essentials

Release Date: 10.3.23

This would be a good addition to an HR department library or to recommend to someone just going into the labor force. 

Title: Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution

Author: Cat Bohannon

Publisher: Knopf

Release Date: 10.3.23

This is 600+ pages and a bit too intense for me in Kindle format. I might revisit it in physical format in the future.
