Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

If new stuff isn't to your taste; I would recommend Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and some of the early stoic philosophers.

The works of Epictetus are also worth a read.

Thanks again. I've read Meditations, Epictetus' Discourses and another work by Seneca I think? Albeit it's been awhile since I've read those. I'm finding as I get older I don't find reading philosophy all that interesting.

I think I prefer non-fiction based around subjects I'm interested in - Nature, science, astronomy or interesting events or history. The last non-fiction I read was Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures

However, you've inspired me to find a non-fiction book to read once I've finished my current book.

That's two upvotes for Marcus Aurelius!!
