when it comes to #psychology and #mentalhealth I've read a decent number of #books on the topic.
I think the best I've read are:
- David D. Burns' Feeling Good (CBT generally including anxiety, depression)
- Sue Johnson's Hold Me Tight (romantic/marital relationships)
- Peter Kramer's Against Depression (on why depression is not a creative gift or sign of moral incompetence, biological underpinnings)
Peter Rutter's Sex in the Forbidden Zone has also been instrumental in forming my understanding of the unhealthy ways romantic interest manifests.
Anne Wilson Schaef's Co-Dependence: Misunderstood--Mistreated is the best I've read explaining how "being good" can oftentimes actually be bad.
The latter two are both more things I extract from the books rather than the books themselves and both are couched in ways that make them not ideally suited to the topic...but still the best I've found.
In addition one might include Joel Fuhrman's Eat for Life (I'm reading it now, I originally read Eat to Live) for nutritional health (which affects psychological) and David Allen's Getting Things Done (still one of the most influential books I've read on productivity).
My #question is, are there books you've read that you'd considered "must reads" on psychological / mental health? Not just mental illness, but mental health?

I'm reading The Lost Princess by #GeorgeMacDonald and in one paragraph he starts off by saying that there is a fire made of fir-wood and by the end of the paragraph refers to it as a peat fire.
#ChatGPT informs me that fir-wood is fast burning and was often used in #Scotland to get a fire started while peat was long-burning and thus would be added to the fire thereafter.
It seems logical, but ChatGPT has also struggled to provide me with clear references to this information.
Curious if anyone is familiar with whether this was/is so? I'd like something to depend upon beyond the words of generative AI. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I recall using an app/service/... for offline access to all kinds of docs, but sadly, I don't remember its name. (I know I have used it to access cppreference and such). Any ideas? ๐Ÿฅบ
Alternatively, any suggestions for offline access to JavaScript docs? MDN says it has offline access but then says it's only for "MDN Plus", which it also says I have but does not provide a means to enable offline storage. ๐Ÿ˜ค

In Mastodon, is it possible to search for posts that do *not* contain a specific hashtag? I don't mean full-text search, but plain old hashtag search only for absence of hashtag instead of presence. ๐Ÿค”

The projects functionality in chatgpt shows promise but lacks some basic functionality - e.g. sorting, reordering, nesting.
Is anyone aware of code out there to manage / override the projects UI?
I've done some basic vibe coding but haven't had great success.
Strange to me, but they only show a few projects at a time, you have to paginate through them and the API grunts about auth.
I see some projects on github, etc. but I'm not seeing anything focused on projects particularly.
