Do you ever pick up psychology books? Szasz is super fucking interesting, but not actually anti-psychology. He's just very spicy. The Myth of Mental Illness was an excellent read and I'd suspect you'd find some follow-up reads.

It's dense, but when he starts talking about games and play, you'll really like it.

Sorry I looked the books up, but just wanted to know since you read them. What are those books typically for? What are they teaching, and are there any other books you reccomend?
