You probably don’t think of plants as strategists. But this one that has taken over the planet, and our species, with great success: COFFEE 🌱 Along its journey, it has fueled monumental ideas (e.g., the Enlightenment), shaped history (e.g., the Union defeating the Confederacy), and noticeably contributed to the world’s GDP (as a half a trillion USD industry). It has also made some enemies, including sleep doctors. But we all know who’s losing that battle. Oh well… I for one, find it irresistible 🫶🏽🤩☕️ If you do too, you’ll enjoy learning more about it in this great book by @michael.pollan ! 📖 🎥 Vietnamese coffee class in Ho Chi Minh City 📝🤓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lovecoffee #coffeelovers #coffeeloversclub #homemadecoffee #instacoffeelovers #notwithoutmycoffee #baristadaily #baristagram #baristaapprentice #coffeebooks #learnaboutcoffee #vietnamesecoffee #coffeeclass #coffefacts #coffeehistory #coffeeneeds #coffeelife #coffeemaking #instabooks #bookstagram #nerdalert #goodreads #bookstagrammer #booksta #lovebooks #booksworthreading #bookrecommendations #bookoftheweek #michaelpollan #michaelpollancaffeine
The was a non-judgmental but fascinating survey of the history of caffeine use, the sociological implications, and the effect on the human body. Also interesting was the authors attempt to give up caffeine. This was a very entertaining non-fiction read. Has it convinced me to give up caffeine? Yes. Will I? Probably not but I will cut down. The part about how it ages you convinced me. I'm already aging fast enough! Recommended. #caffeine #michaelpollan #michaelpollancaffeine #audible #audibleoriginal #igreads #kickthehabit #caffeinesadrug #nonfiction #bookstagram
I spent some time with @michael.pollan yesterday. First I listened to Caffeine (an @audible Original) which I found very interesting, despite the fact that I don’t drink coffee or tea. (In fact, I’ve never had a cup of coffee, I unfortunately get my caffeine from the least healthy of sources - diet or sometimes regular soda. I know, it’s horrible for me and I’m working on in.) Last night I snuggled with the puppies and watched him be interviewed for the Pen & Podium lecture series. Covid cancelled his original in-person date, but I’m so glad they were able to have the conversation virtually. Pollan discussed his book How to Change Your Mind which is about using psychedelics can help treat people with addiction, depression and anxiety. It was also super interesting and something I know little about, even our new puppy Sparky was interested! ☕️ 📝 📚 -SEF . . #thebibliobesties #michaelpollan #penandpodium #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booksofig #booksofinsta #allthebooks #bibliophile #eatsleepread #audible #audibleoriginal #michaelpollancaffeine
A nice cup of hot lemon water 🍋 . I had such a restful sleep last night. I feel like I’m beginning to understand the word “restorative “. Or maybe like I’m getting a taste of better things to come. . What will it be like when I’m excited and happy again? The pandemic is sad, scary, anxiety provoking, confusing etc. I’m much more reserved. None of us are our “normal” selves. I think I’ll try to practice being excited today without caffeine. Maybe it will be exhausting and feel draining. Maybe it will give me a boost. . @michael.pollan talks about caffeine in this video. I haven’t listened to his book yet but it’s on my list! He brings up many interesting points. https://youtu.be/M_BNmD1IEac #iquitcoffee #quitcoffee #michaelpollancaffeine #michaelpollan #changeyourmindset #changeyourhabits #practicepositivity #youaremorethanyouthink #caffeineisadrug #quittingcaffeine #quitcaffeine #anxietyrelief
