and what about moby dick? nobody has listed it as one of his favourites. Yet some people claim is one of the best books ever written in English, so I am thinking if I should read after finishing Blood Meridian (my current reading). Some opinions on this book? thanks -

@silent thunder come on, it is your turn, give us your list -
you seem well acquainted with literature and philosophy. May I ask you (i know i repeat myself! he was an important figure in my early 20s) your opinion about Dostoievski? what do you think about him? what are your favourite books? thanks!

crime and punishment is considered one of the best novels ever written

it is a very good book. russian writers were among my favourites. Dostoievski was my absolute favourite in my 20s, I should read his masterpieces again, I hope I will some day. Have you ever read something from him?

why? i don't think so. it can be a light meal if you are ready and strong enough. but of course this needs a lot of time and preparation. it won't happen in two days
-
yes, in my case i have transitioned to one meal a day. I have been eating OMAD for the last weeks now, i think it has been more than a month already. It has become a habit, so I am not planning to change it for now. It just that sometimes maybe I am eating too much in this one daily meal, as my body-mind still has a lot of cravings for food. Now my goal is to control these a little bit more and be able to eat a little bit less, as it is not good to eat too much in one go. It won't be easy
-
that would be very interesting!
-
so buddhist monks eat one meal a day, i didn't know this. for lunch at noon i guess, right? around what time? mostly rice?
-
Feel free to read my thread about fasting: Regarding your specific question about cravings, it must be said that there is no easy way nor shortcut to overcome food cravings or addictions, but fasting can help to strengthen the will, that is for sure. Anyway, it is no magic, and you will need self-discipline and will. Good luck!

Currently reading Narcissus and Goldmund, by Herman Hesse. A good novel definitely.

We are the body, and we are the mind as well, and also this awareness/consciousness if you want. We are very complex beings

what can a medical doctor do to fix my eye? absolutely nothing, that would be an utter waste of time. And i don't like to lose my time!
-
I don't know if it is the same, but my right eye is very red as of lately, specially on days when i wake up early. It is quite red to say the truth. Any idea of how to improve this?
-
my suggestion is that he focuses on trying to stop negative emotions at first, this alone can save a lot of energy for himself and improve the situation.
-
interesting topic. We have many energy leakeages, surely one important is the overthinking 24/7 from one random thought to another random thought. Things got worse if there are also many negative emotions involved, worries, fears, anger, and the like, as those are even worse and increase the amount of energy wasted for nothing. So at first try maybe to stop these negative emotions and thoughts, it can be a good beginning. Also try not to do useless repetitive movements like when fidgeting or not tensing muscles when not using them
