Some of the books I enjoyed the most and found most helpful:
- Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain - Helped me better understand myself and others, highly recommend
- The Inner Game of Tennis by W. Timothy Gallwey - Advice on mastering the mental part of doing anything, not just tennis
- The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo - actually maybe the most important book I've read in a while, helped me throw away a lot of stuff I didn't need
- Models by Mark Manson - very helpful and ethical advice on attracting women for people like me who never really quite figured it out
- A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy by William B. Irvine- discussion of a philosophy of life that seems like it would work well for modern living
- ckpwong 11y agoI read all these books this year too, except for Models.
- jdimov10 11y agoI can vouch for two of these. I read "The Inner Game of Tennis" last year, because it was recommended to me. It is the kind of book that I would never pick up on my own based on the title. Luckily, the book contents has almost nothing to do with the title :) Marie Kondo's book on tidying up is also of delightfully broader utility than the title implies. I just recently finished it - it is a surprisingly insightful book and a real pleasure to read. Highly recommended!
- palimpsests 11y agoKondo's book is definitely amazing - a very important book, like you say. The system behind it is extremely simple and quite powerful.
