Dear Theo: The Autobiography of Vincent Van Gogh
Edited by Irving Stone
I’ve read this autobiography. It’s such an amazing insight and really makes you think for a realistic perspective on how we have lost touch with Mother Nature and the simplistic way of life.
100% - This is probably one of the foundational books I read in the last three years. A person can find beauty everywhere and in everything. If you're able to train your mind with this perspective in mind it's incredibly life altering. It made me think more about letter writing as well. Now I write letters to people because it truly captures someone's attention. While technology has enabled us to communicate quicker and easier, our attention has become cheap. Writing a letter demonstrates thought and care. BTW, I'm working on some career-advice videos. Look for them early-mid February. "An Introduction to Mind-bending and Teleportation." Most of the advice I see is outdated, anchored in 20th century thinking. These upcoming videos will be meant to prepare oneself navigating the 21st century both personally and professionally.
@@RichHebron Completely agree with you! I’m looking forward to those videos for sure. Thank you. I am much in need for some guidance right now in my life.
BTW - a book you may find interesting: Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. Though I’m pretty sure you have already this book already. I do forget since you read so much already!
@@adventurer000 I got you. Yes, I've read it before. We did a video on it on UA-cam too. It's under books and conversations. It's with Sanchit Arvind. We also recorded another video on the sequel to Sapiens: Homo Deus. I highly recommend this book. While I think Harari is cold, I found the book to be pivotal in broadening my perspective and building a foundation of training for the future.
I'm on a really tight budget and i was confused which one should i buy: Letters of Vincent Van Gogh or Dear Theo or Lust for life. Can you please help me out?
I have only read Dear Theo. I got a lot of value from it. It looks like Lust for Life is a novel written by Irving Stone (Same person who put together Dear Theo). So it depends if you'd rather read something with more narrative or straight up letters. As far as Letters of Vincent Van Gogh, I don't know much about it. I would assume that it's more filtered and curated than Dear Theo - which might make it easier to read. Hope this helps! Just my two cents.
@@RichHebron okay thank you so much.
@@idekart01 Anytime.
Hi, maybe I can help. I've read all three books! I would recommend starting with Dear Theo as Lust for Life is a fictional retelling of Vincent's life based on the letters. I agree with Hebron that Letters of Vincent van Gogh is much more curated and filtered. It doesn't really feel as intimate as Dear Theo. However, it does include drawings and sketches which I thought was nice. All books have been an immense pleasure to read. :)

I will keep learning and continue to get better.
