   this is such a delightful book and the philosophy parts are not too heavy. https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691177601/only-a-promise-of-happiness?srsltid=AfmBOoplr5RPZCPIrbtehK7OT8-mklw3ti_X9P3a9LGbMo94p1Gvhm9M

     @lzg I took a peek at Goodreads for reviews and got hit with this sledgehammer:

     " "Beauty' is the name we give to attractiveness when what we already know about an individual ... seems too complex for us to be able to describe what it is and valuable enough to promise that what we haven't learned is worth even more, perhaps worth changing ourselves in order to come to see and appreciate it"

     WHAAAAT?? I've never thought of the concept this way, but it kind of works? I'm genuinely interested in how he builds up to this point now. Thanks for the recommend!
