If you enjoy reading and absorbing this kind of knowledge, I suggest reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. It's a book of personal thoughts/writings/observations that Aurelius wrote while he was emperor of Rome. It's absolutely stunning how much knowledge from back then is still applicable in the modern world.

- stinos 12y ago+1 for bringing this up. Might have been on HN before, but it cannot be stressed enough what a great mind he was. Especially his striving for 'good' in his writings is leaves a bitter taste in my mouth everytime I read it because I know I'm still far from being good. Well, something that can make you think like that is superb.
- blahber 12y ago+2 Aurelius's Philosophy is timeless. "The Wisdom of Life, by Arthur Schopenhauer" is another good wisdom book.
