some parts of this collection made me wonder about the quality of translation, but overall a good and interesting collection of Taoist maxims.

Introducing Psychoanalysis: A Graphic Guide by Ivan Ward

slow-paced

1.5

really skims over the various issues and controversies with Freud and psychoanalysis. Does not go into any detail with much coherence. Skimming the topic is expected, but sliding past actual explanations in favor of weird jokes is not great for an introductory text.
