Thanks for all your recomendations, especially the BBC documentary. I'm really interested in Gödel and Cantor.

Thanks, I had read some Feyerabend essays a few years ago. This is indeed instead thought provoking.

Thanks, I'll add the John Stillwell book to my reading list. And thanks for the idea of watching the newer "Cosmos" series. I'm always looking for ideas for shows to watch with my son!

Thanks, I have heard a lot about Bill Bryson but never took the time to read it. I will start with this one.

I went back to college and started a bachelor in philosophy in a specific cursus tailored for people with a full time job. Met plenty of fantastic people with various backgrounds.

Business & work : Deep Work - Cal Newport, Anti fragile - Nassim Taleb CNV : Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life. Marshall Rosenberg "spiritual" or wisdom related : Tao Te King, Marcus Aurelius, the Gospel, Meditation on the Tarot classics : Plato, Homer, and Peloponese's war by Thucydides. And I couldn't explain why but I re-read Into thin air by Krakauer every year.
