The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt
Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.

This is an amazing book but I think I have lost the ability that I had in my uni days to devour books like this. Very prescient though!

informative medium-paced

3.0

I really liked the author and the way it was written, and I learned lots more about lymph. However I was already familiar with lots of the information relating to a healthy lifestyle so I didn’t get much new from it.
