Books that have changed my life:
- How to win friends and influence people. Helped me understand the dynamics of relationships in a unon manipulative and empathetic way.
- Sapiens. Changed my view on human organizations and religion
- the monk who sold his Ferrari
- meditations by Marcus Aurelius
- the screwtape letters. Letter 15 specifically changed me
- jackconsidine 5y agoHey hey! Had the same experience with Screwtape Letters + Meditations
- anderber 5y agoMeditations by Marcus Aurelius continues to inspire me, no matter how many times I read it. Incredible stuff.
- franczesko 5y ago"How to win friends and influence people" It's a great book, however it creates one problem, when all of the advice is implemented. It makes you a perfect listener, but doesn't mention the imbalance it can cause.
- lilcorey10 5y agoI’m what ways is there an imbalance? Assuming the other party isn’t inept of asking questions there shouldn’t be much of one
- duke_core 5y agoDo you know of any better books than that one
- andrei_says_ 5y agoAs a non-American it felt incredibly manipulative and I can see how it has been weaponized by salespeople.
- mukundesh 5y agoAgree with all the ones in the list except #3
- PraetorianGourd 5y agoThere is a lot of debate as to the accuracy and provenance of Meditations. It wasn’t really directly mentioned until the 10th century and it is unknown how true to anything Marcus said our current edition is.
