Another interesting book! Neuroscience isn't only about humans. There are other sentient beings on our planet. This is a fascinating book about 'other minds', e.g. that of the octopus. 'Other Minds: The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life'. https://rebrand.ly/imqhgki

Have you just got a new job? First of all, relax & treat yourself. Acknowledge your success. Then let's get down to it & plan your campaign for your first 100 days.
First, what exactly is expected? Make friends with your job description, including that bit at the end 'any other tasks which may reasonably fall within this role'.
Know who your immediate line manager is, & get to know them. They should offer regular supervision so it's good to get that booked in.
Use your induction period to find out all you can about the company & its people. Maybe get a notebook or something online like Trello and keep notes of anything significant. Mostly this will be about the people involved.
Re people, I mean not only where they fit in the hierarchy, but more importantly what the personal alliances & feuds are. Who likes who, or not, who tends to avoid certain people etc. Soon you'll know where the real power & influence lies. It's not always at the top.
Get enough rest & recreation while you are settling in. A new job can be stressful, even if it's a great job & you really wanted it. Having to learn & process new routines & information takes up energy & makes extra demands on your reservices of attention. You need to replenish it.
Maybe keep a reflective journal & ask yourself - what went well? What can I do better? What do I need? How do I feel?
You can book a free call with me here to discuss how coaching might help you with this. https://rebrand.ly/wnydars

So many books, so little time! I try to make it easier for you with recommendations. Today's is The Beautiful Cure: The New Science of Immune Health, by Daniel M Davis and it's about the wonders of the immune system and how it all fits together. It's almost like a detective story, and it never ceases to amaze me how we can never come to the end of discovery, and yet we only scratch the surface of the incredible complexity of our bodies - not to mention all the other marvels of the universe! This reminds me that another of the components of well-being is to experience a sense of Awe. https://rebrand.ly/69msqvt
