me, intonating to repeat after my highschool Bio teacher "Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell."

While the book has mostly been some background in biology / cytology and a superficial surmise of cytological biochemistry, the thesis of the book in putting energy efficiency via mitochondrial biogenesis at the center of well-rounded physical fitness is actually extremely compelling and it makes it easy to think of all the different factors in fitness holistically with this foundation. Will be interesting to see where this goes!

This book is incredibly detailed and comprehensive. It is probably best to use it for reference, or extract some essential points, for whatever artistic or aesthetic design purpose one intends. This is in part because the book is rich in examples and description, which is not to its detriment but rather allows the reader to notice patterns from which to construct their own general rules of thumb that can guide creative decision.

Pathological demand avoidance huh.. Kind of a bitch to live with if I indeed have it, now that I think about it. No wonder I have almost no habit formation, when PDA is pretty much anti-habituation as habits can slowly get framed consciously as routines which may then eventually be experienced as external demands to avoid. The Goldilocks zone of spontaneity and repetitive expectation is hard to find.

Such an exciting, intriguing read! Well, of course not. It's an accounting book. These last two chapters seem to just be the previous set of chapters, but in more details about the more specific entries--rather than big picture concepts--of profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, and cash flow statements. Though I haven't gotten up to the chapter detailing cash flow statements yet. I do hope to eventually getting around to taking notes on these recent chapters. The financial analysis portion of the book seems like it would be the most interesting, to the extent a book like this would ever be.

Might be able to come up with protocols from reading this. At least it is my intention. Also kind of doubles as a nice review of high school Biology / AP Biology.

I did not read the entire book fully, but I took notes on and absorbed the main and essential aspects and features of Ansible. A lot of the rest of the chapters go in depth into different, more specific Ansible use-cases and how this would affect playbook design. I figure I can use these chapters as reference later, as opposed to reading through them straight through. Consider myself done with this book.

My therapist has mentioned pathological demand avoidance a few times before, and only now has its potential explanatory power for some of my behavior become apparent to me. Hopefully this helps me understand more about PDA and strategies of dealing with it.

So far this book has been really good for getting an overview of the most important features and aspects of Ansible. The discussion of the structured directory trees for things like collections and roles, useful for modularizing one's Ansible projects, was discussed with clarity.

Just retroactively entering the reading date for when I started reading this book.

Was recommended this and it looks interesting.
