John Daido Loori

I choosed this book for it’s compelling title. Although I initially thought  that it would be more oriented to show you  how to improve your creative skills, it actually guides you to Zen Buddhism through Art. And it’s very good at it. Written on a autobiographical way, John explains the basic principles of Zen and how your own artistic  and self-expression search can lead you to the discover of the truths of life. Goes between the practice, with even some exercises, to the basics of zazen and the Zen principles, a description of the Zen Arts and the Zen aesthetic.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Excellent. A thoughtful view of the uncertainities of the worlds we live in. Leaves many points to think about and hopefully I’ll write about some of them soon. A definitively future reread.

I’ll give a small talk about the Bayes’ Theorem  and some of it uses to my coworkers (presentation here). For that, I’ve written a simulator of the Monty Hall Problem , which I hope will make fun the talk. Access the simulator here, or via the link on the Sandbox subsection at the right column.
