I'll be buying your book soon. :) I look forward to your ideas. Most of the books I buy are through word of mouth. Robert Greene was a word of mouth purchase. I have a small library. I love to read. But each time I read a book, I feel more stupid. I begin to hate our society. I realise that I've learned nothing from college.
I love "The 33 Strategies of War", "The 48 Laws of Power", "Art of Seduction", and "The 50th Law." Robert Greene is brilliant. I read all his books. It helped me understand the bullshit of society.
Not going to lie dude I realy like you overall mentality set. Good stuff really wise man! Those books are really good, its hard to find a good fucking book that you can actually take something from it!!! Keep those videos coming man!!
Thank you for your review of The Speed of Trust. I work directly with Stephen and would like to send you a signed copy. Please contact me and we will make that happen for you.
I'm also a big reader, have a similar reading list.
Mostly on the economy/finance, why things are happening. 48 laws of power I liked by robert greene. Also guns, germs and steel. And biographies of successful people.
Have you read Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levine? Its the best political book I've read that sums up where we are now.
Cool... There's a book I just finished, that I really enjoyed, called "Bionomics", by Michael Rothschild. It's all about approaching economics with the scientific models and laws that we have of biology and ecology, rather than strictly mechanical physics.
And, no, I haven't read the Levine book. I'll check that out. I am very interested in a book I just saw on the shelves called "Liberal Fascism".
Thanks for posting these videos. I especially enjoy your book recommendations b/c, as a fellow "logic junkie", I find them to be very resourceful. I hope you'll continue to post book reviews/recommendations.
What have you been reading lately?
I can't tell you how refreshing it was to stumble upon your videos. Oddly enough, I came across them when I was researching Missoula, MT as a potential destination for grad school. lol.
1) Right now I'm reading a book by Philip Delves Broughton, called "Ahead of the Curve", where he reveals what his two years inside Harvard Business School were like. It's incredibly revealing and even funny.
I'm also reading a book on encryption math, which is very interesting, but very slow to digest.
2) I'm glad you like my videos. And U. Montana in Missoula seemed like an idyllic place to go to school. But what would you study?
I'm interested in their law school. I'm from FLA and am looking for a change. My philosophy and the philosophy this state has embraced are moving in opposite directions.
I really enjoyed Harford's "The Logic of Life." The chapter on divorce was particularly enlightening b/c, it just goes to show, you can't base judgment on something out of sheer fundamentalism. Far from being an element of "sin", it was actually a revolution of sorts and entirely rational from the woman's perspective.
Well, I think you'd enjoy Missoula... it's pretty well a self-contained glacial valley, and the local people who are natively from there (not the people from the planet of California, mind you, who are apparently doing their absolute best to make the place as uptight and aloof as possible) are actually pretty friendly.
The only down side to Missoula, I found, was that there was a lot of drinking going on there, and the city's isolation could be depressing a bit.
hey I really liked that book by Paul Neilan you recommended and It was hillarious. Unfortunately , he has only written that one good book. Do you have any recommendations from the slacker fiction genres similar to Apathy and other small victories and a similar writing style similar ?
The other two I like are "The Fuck-Up" by Arthur Nersesian, and "The Bear Went Over the Mountain" by William Kotzwinkle. I don't read much fiction anymore, so that's pretty much it...
I understand perfectly why you don't like fiction books; forthe same reason I don't: having inherited a poverty of knowledge; having been in desperate need of guidance throughout your academic years, you're hoping to find it in books. I was the same way. But in my case I resorted to biographies of accomplished people. Everything from Dostoyevsky to Bette Davis. Rest assured, I now recogize it as distored thinking.
I've just managed to download a couple of these books.
definitely gonna check out ''the fuck-up'', ''apathy and other small victories'', and ''the sociopath next door''. thanks for the good reviews. keep em' coming!
Glad you like 'em! I really like doing book reviews, because I hate most book reviews and there are so many great books out there that nobody's reading...
In all fairness, Hollywood has gotten exponentially stupider. There are smatterings of smartness in Hollywood, but it doesn't exactly overwhelm the place.
ummm you never leave me a comment, wich reminds me i have a new one to post, i'll do it tomaro o back to this vid umm i think i'l respond with my own vid
