Uncommon Sense Teaching, it's about how we learn from a neuroscience perspective, and how these insights can be applied to teaching kids (and ourselves).
So my recent reads have included:
Determined: the science of life without free will by Robert Salpolsky. I rate it 4/5

I’m in the midst of reading…
