SUMMARY:Bookends Book Club: Tuesdays with Morrie
DESCRIPTION:Subtitled ‘An Old Man\, A Young Man and Life’s Greatest Lesson\, this 1997 memoir by the award-winning sports columnist Mitch Albom is based on a series of Tuesday visits he made to his former sociology professor\, Morrie Schwartz\, as Schwartz was dying from motor neurone disease (the book was written in part to help defray Schwartz’s mounting end-of-life medical expenses).  Each chapter covers a different topic of conversation — including death\, fear\, ageing\, greed\, marriage\, family\, forgiveness\, and the meaning of life — interspersed with Albom’s reflections on his own career-driven lifestyle and flashbacks to his college years. The results are sincere and the writing skilful; but is it inspirational? Or even sentimental? \n

SUMMARY:Book Cellar Dubai: The Elephant in the Brain
DESCRIPTION:Another really interesting pick by Book Cellar. The authors – software engineer and writer Kevin Simler and economics professor Robin Hanson – start from the premise that we are often unaware of the real reasons for our behaviours: they go through several examples\, explaining them through that framework of signalling and self-deception. Meaty and interesting. (The publisher’s website describes the book as aiming “to track down the darker\, unexamined corners of our psyches and blast them with floodlights”.)
