I really wish everyone on earth could read this book. The world would be a much friendlier place.

Review of 'Laziness Does Not Exist' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I wish I have read this book earlier in my life, so I know not to overexert myself in a desire to be "successful" or "productive". I have learned to better take care of myself.
Robin Syl reviewed Unmasking Autism by Devon Price
Review of 'Unmasking Autism' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This book helped me so much in understanding my autism and accepting myself. I feel like my life makes sense now. Hopefully I can have a fulfilling life unmasked.
Robin Syl reviewed Sensory: Life on the Spectrum by Rebecca Ollerton
Review of 'Confessions of a Recovering Engineer' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This book gave me good insight into how the engineering profession and existing structures affect our cities, and the implicit values those professions bring. I do feel the book centers too much on finances over just talking about livable cities, but is still a good read if you want to know how to make your city better.
It also goes on this weird rant about high speed rail being communist like seriously what's up with that
Robin Syl reviewed Traffic by Tom Vanderbilt
Review of 'Traffic' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This book taught me quite a lot about traffic and the human part of the equation, though I fear some of the insights may be outdated as newer ideas about cities and traffic are introduced.
