you are my hero
this is great, thank you! been wanting to add some more non·fic to my collection and this will add some new topics. I tend to steer towards political and cultural focused books but also love philosophy and science. I'll be adding all these books though to my Master TBR because my goal is to have a well-rounded library.
Wonderful! In that case, I'm so glad this helped!
Are there other options you recommend in the theory of ethics and applied ethics categories? I would appreciate options that are available on Kindle as I live outside USA and want to avoid shipping costs.
Great questions! Off the top of my head, I can't think of additional titles, but anything that is a broad overview that includes topics such as utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics should be great! Also, for applied ethics, you can even be more specific to the topic. Look for things in your area of interest: i.e. "business ethics," "medical ethics," etc.
Someone get this man a towel! I think I will check out the cash-flow and personal MBA books as they are most relevant to me in the entrepreneurship sphere. Good video.
LOL - I'm not sweating as much as you think - I think I just need a soft box for my lighting haha
I've been looking for a good book on GenAI, thank you!
Awesome - glad I could be of help!
At the moment, I'm reading The Personal MBA by Josh Kauffman.
Nice! Would love to hear what you're learning so far
"Day trading attention" has not been released yet. How were you able to read it?
For this particular book, I have read pretty much everything out there that's publicly available about its structure and content focus - that, coupled with the fact that literally every other book by Gary V has been incredibly valuable, I can safely say I recommend this even before it's been released. I'll be one of the first to read it in full once it's released!
@@stephenpetro411 thank you
This list is amazing thank you!! Adding to my list 👏
PS: I noticed the “Captivate” book by VVE in your background that book was incredible for my person to person social skills! Her follow up books “Cues” was even better!
Her work is incredibly useful, and same!
Hi Fernando, should I start from the first one , or jump to the second book?
@@troecurov3 hi. I would strongly recommend reading both because they each hold value on their own. “Captivate” is great for overall social skills and reading/understanding physical nonverbal communication where “Cues” builds on that foundation and takes it a step further with how to build confidence and project charismatic communication with nonverbal cues (oversimplification but that’s it in a nutshell)
@@fernandopaiz3696 thank you very much man
@@troecurov3 I think starting with the first book is a good idea. Then the second one. But feel free to weigh in here too, Fernando.
A list of all the books mentioned would be very much appreciated. :)
Noted! I may put a list of these in the description going forward in that case :)
Agreed! a book list would be awesome. Would be awesome if u added it here too not just going forward!

@@stephenpetro411 thank you appreciate that you took the time!
Keren bro. ❤❤❤
Well.that was heavy. Compared to the usual UA-cam guys. How long did it take you to master those 15 books?
Mastery is fairly relative, so it's hard to answer that question. However, I would say I have a good working knowledge of certain of these fields and an extreme deep-level understanding of others (i.e., ethical theory, psychology, neuroscience).
Day Trading Attention hasn't been released yet, so how is it "one of the best?"
Fair point! However, I've listed it here because I've reviewed everything I can get my hands on so far about its contents, and having read every one of Gary V's other books, I can safely say this is going to be a GREAT starting point for anyone who's either starting out in social media marketing or looking to improve their game here.
No Voltaire? No Sun Tzu? No Huxley? Pfftt.
Hahaha if I made a longer video, I would include these. That being said, these are all great books to build a foundation upon. The authors you mentioned are incredible, but they're great ones to tackle after some basic foundational content.
True those are important also
❤
Glad you enjoyed it - stay tuned for more!
I graduated from a Jesuit liberal arts college. Most of this is in the core curriculum.
That's great! Jesuit schools are pretty well-known for rigorous and diverse curriculum.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for more!
👍👏👏
Thanks for stopping by!
generative intelligence
Yes 👍
Sorry but there are much better books than Gary V about being likable. Lets redo that one
For sure! But in terms of marketing, he's hard to beat.
Sorry, the cuts are way too distracting. Can not watch the video.
Thanks for the feedback - I'll take that into consideration
I disagree on the cuts. For the video editor, keep doing what you do. Your editing skills show me how the editor brain works. The cuts kept me engaged because the visuals kept changing. Therefore, it kept my attention. Hence, the content of the video is what kept me here though. My favourite part was when he talks about not having social skills. Couldn't agree more as I relate! 😂
@@8v01d Thanks for the feedback also! I take everyone's feedback into consideration so I can become better!
The cuts didn’t bother me. I can tell you put a lot into this video and it was very helpful. I will check out some of these recommendations. Thank you!
@@willx456 Thanks for the feedback, and stay tuned for more!
These sound too technical and/or advanced
Don't worry! Most of these are beginner books and are great for even those who know nothing about the topics 😉
Thanks! I might start with Being Logical out of this list.
@@ritwikism It's a good one to start with. Lots of examples in there.
