I'm extremely curious. I like learning from a wide variety of different fields.

I'm really engaged with social media, particularly Quora, reddit, and various forums. My Quora profile is at http://www.quora.com/Alex-K-Chen .

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I like to enrich my experiences that I have when I visit new places. I often find that I learn more than I otherwise would by couchsurfing.

音乐、电影和书籍

I really love science books, especially those on science and psychology. Especially books like Consilience and the Agile Mind.

https://books.google.com/books?uid=109982067040770166048&as_coll=0&source=gbs_lp_bookshelf_list is a good list of many good books.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've posted more questions than anyone else on Quora. (40,000+).

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I know a lot about the Internet and social media. I'm also really interested/obsessed with healthy eating (as it relates to slowing down the rate of aging) and have a very strong idea of what the healthiest possible diet involves (namely, a mostly plant-based diet high in monounsaturated fatty acids, and low in high glycemic index carbs).
