    I just started reading Why We Sleep, but have been working my way through The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt - very relevant for the university context!

    I read the Anxious Generation as well! I think Haidt makes a compelling case being proactive around social media use in particular for children and adolescents.

      Agreed! Especially as a counsellor currently working with young adults, I hope for increased proactivity in limiting social media usage until brains are more fully developed!

    I just finished reading Why We Sleep, and I'm currently not reading any other psychology-related books at the moment, but one book that I absolutely loved reading was Atomic Habits by James Clear.

      I haven't read Atomic Habits yet but I've seen a lot of positive feedback on it. I'll have to add it to my "to read" list.

  Professor Pozzulo’s Pick (June, 2024) Why we sleep: Unlocking the power of sleep and dreams  by Matthew Walker, Ph.D. (published by  Simon & Schuster) My take: I’ll admit it, I thought I knew about sleep….get 7-9 hours of sleep a night, if you can’t sleep meditate and if that doesn’t work, get up and do something else. I was curious to read Walker’s book, Why we sleep: Unlocking the power of sleep and dreams (published by Simon & Schuster). Well, as it turns out there’s A LOT more to sleep than I thought. I’ll mention upfront that the book has been met with some criticism of Walker’s claims, so I was even more curious. In Why we sleep the reader is provided with several examples suggesting that a lack of adequate sleep both in quantity and quality is connected to ill health, from depression to Alzheimer’s to cardiovascular problems to cancer.

  Professor Pozzulo’s Pick (July, 2024) The Good Life: Lessons from the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness by Robert Waldinger, MD and Marc Schultz, Ph.D. (2023; published by  Simon & Schuster ) My take: Would you sign up for a study that would last your entire life? In,  The Good Life: Lessons from the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness  by Robert Waldinger, MD and Marc Schultz, Ph.D. (2023; published by Simon & Schuster), people did just that. Two generations are followed for over 80 years (with the study still going), known as the  Harvard Study of Adult Development .    There were several great takeaways from this book. For starters, about 40% of one’s happiness is a product of one’s own actions and choices. So, if you’re wanting to be happier, you have some control over it. Moreover, regardless of the stage in life you are at, change is possible for improved happiness and well-being.   Not only do the authors all...
