The most amazing thing about productivity experts is most of them never really worked.
Omg!!! This man is so beautiful! I want to clip his toenails!!
Letters from a Stoic is an amazing book, especially when you remember that it is just over 2000 years old
U know what really REALLY makes you question common things around us?
Paying attention.
I have a love-hate relationship with 'Letters from a stoic'. Overall, the essays are beautifully written, highlight the need to recognise what's really important in our lives, and importantly, pretty enjoyable to read.
What I didn't like about these essays however, is the cadence of Seneca's dialogues.Throughout the book one will find him lamenting about people who he thinks are less than the 'ideal'.I mean he's persistent enough to start sounding like a broken record.
Just bought GEB...I'm 74 and this has motivated me to read it before I shuffle off this mortal coil. Thx a million!!
Cool, you put these little flags in... to show how you really have been working with these books! So good
Include, The Brothers Karamazov
by Fyodor Dostoevsky to you list , it's amazing.
Just bought the first 4 of these books (used) online for $29.20 including shipping. Will read and report back.
Patience with Godel Escher Bach...it is a VERY dense read. Not casual reading.
Thank you for the recommendations. Added to list
Just finished letters from a stoic. Some of the letters didn't hit, but when they did, it blew me away.
YAY!!! I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO FLAGS AS MANY PAGES AS POSSIBLE!!!
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
Thanks for the great recs!
You're so welcome!
It's very specific, but the Author Jonathan Wilson does some great journalistic work in Football(soccer for Americans). His book "Inverting the Pyramid" is a wonderful history of the tactical evolution of the sport, and my father is currently working through "Angels with Dirty Faces" a history of Argentine football specifically and seems to be enjoying it.
I will also say The Communist Manifesto is worth reading for anyone interested in politics, because it's only like 90 pages and you get a clear and specific idea of communist ideology straight from the source without 150 years of bias and paraphrasing.
I also read "Dirty Laundry" which is aboht managing ADHD and living with an ADHD partner this year, however I didn't find that to be particularly good. It was a lot of common sense stuff, and the general framing was weird in my opinion.
I like how you explained what each book is, thank you!
Thanks brother
I'll be reading GEB this spring. Have had it on my shelf for years.
I have failed to read it a couple of times. It really is a book you have to work through.
I plan on trying some of these out. New to philosophy. I enjoyed The Five Dialogues.
I don't think I've read that one
@@nateliason It's pretty good. About the trials and death of Socrates. Short stories.
Letters from a stoic is just Seneca moaning about people taking hot baths. Or celebrating loud festivals
Wow way to sell it for me. GEB is my all time fave as of the last 10 years. So much so that I never got as excited over a book since. Haven't read the rest, maybe one of them will scratch that itch.
Thanks for recommending these lovely books
You're so welcome!
I recommend "Denial of Death" by Ernest Becker.
"The fourth dimension" by Rudy Rucker - VERY interesting non-fiction book about geometry, dimensions and an interesting view on the physics/math of it.You'll love it!
Just the title 4000 weeks stresses me out
Straw Dogs is amazing, I've been fortunate to see John Gray talk several times as well, very interesting man
If anyone is interested in Wild West and Native American history I highly recommend a book titled “Life Among The Apache” I couldn’t put it down
Reading "Godel Escher Bach" is the task of a lifetime...I STRONGLY recommend checking out the MIT Online lectures on UA-cam.
The trick to it is accepting there will be substantial stretches that you won't understand on the first reading, or the second reading...or even the tenth reading.
Omfg! Gödel, Escher, Bach; Eternal Golden Braid is rhe only non fiction that I read until it fell apart. I only have the second half anymore.
Totally unrelated, but what kind of watch are you wearing?
Try "The Emperor’s New Mind" by Penrose
Wait isn’t StrawDogs a fiction novel about a shootout in a Cornish town?? It had a movie adaptation and everything
No it's a philosophy book from some hippie who hates Christianity but things there's a Goddess Earth Mother
Straw Dogs. I might read that.
Whats the point of the post its if you put 200 in each book?
Just finished 4000 weeks but found that for a book about time management it wasted so much of my time. The whole thing could’ve been a mid length article absolutely not worth reading imo.
could you give me a tldr of it if you find the time.
Most productivity /self-help books drag on. They are the opposite of what they are trying to teach.
Godel, etc is a book I re-read.❤
GEB is a crazy book
You said earlier that self help books are just a waste of time then why you are recommending now?
GEB is great
So many Post-Its in GEB!
I prefer Antifragile by LeSserafim
GEB was not a peaceful read for me. Did not enjoy spending time in Hofstaeder's brain. Very tangential
I think the only good books in general are non fiction science or informational books. Minus the philosophy and self help ones and stuff; the useless ones.
Ill see if i can find these books on audible
It's that movie studio logo
Thanks for the recommendations. I couldn't get past the first 30 pages of Antifragile, though. Author has a god complex or something, and it was very off-putting.
damn fine taste
What? No Noddy??
I am a strange loop.
Pro: girdle
Letters From A Stoic, is the only book worth reading. The others are mental cluttering garbage.
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand....
Can’t wait to not read these
Garbage choices.
