I thought I’ll start posting reading lists that will include books and articles I want to recommend in various subjects. Many in subjects like psychology, biology, science but also some fiction. Some might also prove valuable for INFJ types and like minded. Here is my first list post:
Mean Genes: From Sex To Money To Food: Taming Our Primal Instincts

Mean Genes: From Sex To Money To Food: Taming Our Primal Instincts
This is a very interesting book I’m currently reading which explains how human psychology is connected to evolutionary biology. The book explains how we do not really function that differently from all the other animals on this planet. It is a great guide to learn to understand why you can sometimes do and act in ways that you feel is not who you really are on a conscious level. Great book for personal development!
Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief
–CHRISTOPHER HOBBS, author of Handmade Herbal Medicines and Natural Therapy for Your Liver“Adaptogens are destined to play an increasingly important role in the future of health care. This book provides an excellent introduction to and comprehensive overview of their traditional uses and of the science supporting their safety and therapeutic benefits.”
–MARK BLUMENTHAL, founder and executive director of the American Botanical Council“Brilliant! . . . a definitive work on this most important group of medicinal plants.”
–ROSEMARY GLADSTAR, founder of United Plant Savers and author ofHerbal Healing for WomenWe all deal with stress every day, and every day our bodies strive to adapt and stay balanced and healthy. InAdaptogens, authors David Winston and Steven Maimes provide a comprehensive look into adaptogens, nontoxic herbs such as ginseng, eleuthero, and licorice, that produce a defensive response to stress in our bodies. These rejuvenating herbs and tonics help the body to “adapt” to the many influences it encounters. They increase stamina and counter the normal effects of aging and thus are becoming important tools in sports medicine and in the prevention and treatment of chronic fatigue and other stress-related disorders.Winston and Maimes present the historical uses of these herbal remedies in India, Russia, China, and the Americas and explain how they work and why they are so effective at combating stress-induced illness. Monographs for each adaptogen also present the latest scientific research and include the origin, traditional use, actions, properties, preparation, and dosage for each herb.
This book might just be one of the best buys I have ever done. Since I started to learn about herbal medicine and adaptogens my quality of life has increased tremendously. I no longer have to take my asthma or sinus medication, I have increased energy and feel great. Can workout often and recover fast, my insomnia is gone and I sleep like a baby. The best thing of all, my anxiety and stress levels are greatly improved. I have even been and had my blood values tested and my immune system levels are higher then they have ever been.
I think everybody owe it to themselves to learn about this area of medicine and how it can help you in a natural way that does not involve the side effects of conventional medicine. How to stay healthy and disease free with herbs that been used for thousands of years in many different parts of the world. I can’t recommend this book enough!
