I am reading resonance by Hartmut Rosa. I like and would recommend it. It is a sociological academic book that criticizes classic sociology and the indicators we use to be too extremely focused on the possession and use of resources. It tries to propose a scientifically measurable and quantifiable way to determine how much one is 'resonating' with the world around them, how much they see it as something happening to them VS something they can shape and feel a response from. I read it for my masters so maybe not for fun reading.
