Bibliography and Webography

Whenever I come up with a new life questioning, the first thing I do is investigate. We are incredibly lucky to have this pool of information on the Internet, as well as easy access to all kinds of books and papers. If you are interested in knowing where I search these from, here are my main sources of ideas and information, as well as my most regular reads.

I will update this page reguarly as I stumble upon a new interesting source, so please feel free to visit it again in the future.
