Definitely the guy who overindulged in pot snickerdoodles and then goes out to dinner with his inlaws.

Just to respond to your need for better sleep... For me, good sleep is far more about temperature, darkness, and a nice weight. So I use a weighted blanket, eye covers, and the expensive but awesome chilipad so I don't try to sleep in a pool of sweat.

I hear this a lot... But I really enjoyed Children of the Mind. I'm guessing people mostly don't like it because it feels like it lines up too much with some LDS stuff.. but if you just ignore that, or are blissfully unaware as I was when I first read it, it can be great and thought provoking.

Momo by Michael Ende. He also wrote The Neverending Story. Where The Neverending Story is about imagination, Momo is about listening and time.

I love that book! I try to read it once a year to keep the ideas lodged in my brain.
