I read Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness by Dr. Rick Hanson. I am actually a fan of reading these kinds of genres of books because I like seeing how people view things from different perspectives. He divides the book into four sections: recognizing, resourcing, regulating, and relating. I like how not only does he explain the reasoning for why you should embody these qualities but also the scientific/biological reasoning. I think we’ve all had experiences going through hardships and it’s easy to get down on yourself and spiral. I think this book can serve as a constant message or reminder to be more compassionate and empathetic to not just others but also yourself. I like how through each section, he gives an example of a situation or he tells the reader, “recall a time where you…”. I like how he does this because it personalizes the experience for the reader and puts it into their own perspective for how they can incorporate these values into ...

TO: Clark Hansen, CEO, Anima Mundi Development Partners FROM: Lauren Tsuchiyama, Research & Development SUBJECT: Investment Proposal for Oatly Group AB DATE: March 8, 2024 Based on my research and analysis, I recommend that AMDP does not invest in Oatly Group AB.

Before reading this, I honestly thought about why we structure some things the way they are. For example, who decided that school should start at 8am and end at 3pm? Why do we have to start so early? Or the times when the stock market opens. Additionally, a lot of people don't like the US because we adopted a different measurement system other than using meters/Celcius/grams. But it is universally a seven-day week around the world. In my opinion, it would be so much easier if our year was equally divided into the same amount of days in a month. But the World Calender also created new days, such as Leap Day which occurs every four years. I also think that it's really interesting that the seven-day week system started because of religious reasons; I always thought it was because of a 5-day work week.  I also found it interesting how before the Meso-American days, ancient civilizations such as the Mayans, developed their own way of tracking time. The Mayan calendar is made of 13 s...

 For Book #2 I am interested in reading  Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core by Dr. Rick Hanson. From what I read from the summary, it seems like it would be similar to other books I have been interested to/read in the past. A couple years ago, I read this book called The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. It talks about personal development and how to elevate/improve your life using four different mottos/lessons on life. For example, I remember it was something along the lines of always doing your best, and don't take anything personally. This book made a big impact on how I view life. I feel like over the past couple of years, I've tried to become more self-aware of my actions and thoughts so I can become the best version of myself.  I also read this book called A Neurosurgeon's Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart by Dr. James Doty. This book also made a big impact on how I view life as it talks about how having empathy and...
