I just read in a dolphin council posts that it benefits the steem ecosystem if I, as a dolphin, remember my roots and what it felt like to be a minnow.
I remember not even thinking about an ecosystem until I got tips from whales for a month straight. I was analyzing music and writing music daily at the time. It was whales that shot my rep and SP up and then all of that went away.
Now I just post based on my latest interests. But when I think back, there were three books I had read that sent my creativity soaring through the clouds.
- Organic Community
- A timeless Way Of Building
- The Spiritual Guide To Everything
I want to recommend those to you and challenge you to recommend three books to me in the comments. If you are like me and don’t read much, send me a top three of anything you have experience in.
Again, recommend 3 books or 3 of anything (songs, poems, recipes, artists) in the comments and I will give the first three comments 3 SP each. My preference will be towards minnows if there is a lot of participation.
Dolphins, so you want to nudge a minnow to take part? Comment with their username to let them know.
I also ask that you dolphins make a #threethings contest to ecourage
Peace,

The three books I'd recommend:
Loving What is by Byron Katie
A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson
and if I could be smart enough to read it through & have a proper review I'd suggest Reality is Broken by Jane McGonigal as my first pick. It's fantastic, but above my broken brain's reading level & it also makes my brain go on fantastic inspired tangents. I've re-read the same page 10 times & I get derailed with the thinking, in the best way. :)
The Byron Katie book gave me mental tools to make me stop arguing with reality & gain mental security. The Bill Bryson book filled me with wonder about the universe & made me feel less dumb. The Jenny Lawson book has been a best friend that's gotten me through tough mental health times with laughter & given me the words for a lot of my experiences.
I love all these books. They have a little bit of magic & ability to change my perspective. I treasure that. 😍

Nice. Rudolph Steiner is way over my head but like you the tangents and inspiration is worth it.

Right? I love a meaty book that takes some digesting to get through and gets my mind going.

You should have your steempower! I like your recommendations. Need to read the alchemist.

You haven't read the alchemist! You must, it's considered one of the best books. Also, read the story of how the author launched the book, if I'm not mistaken the author sold the book door to door before the book actually picked up the pace and started selling by itself. I might be confusing it with another book, but I'm almost certain that it was that one.
