Book recommendations



here are some awesome books I recently read:

reality is broken - explains how playing video games actually makes us better
the book thief - about the 2nd WW, very powerful, style is similar to kurt vonnegut's, he's my fav
the good earth - extremely good dynasty drama about the ups and downs of a regular Chinese dude. [it actually is much greater than my sloppy summary]
the power of now - title says it all
mailman always rings twice - wow, what a gem that one, forget the movie

also, if you like si fi, i strongly recommend:

neuromancer
hyperion
starmaker

Millionaire Fastlane probably been mentioned a billion times on this forum

Here is my list in-order of influence:

How to Win Friends and Influence People - Significantly impacted my view of criticism and helped me become less much condescending and critical. Contains other great principals to follow in life

Intelligent Investor - Taught me the difference between a speculator and an expert. After reading I pulled all of my money out of the stock-market within a month.

Atlas Shrugged - Helped me define my own moral code

4-Hour Work Week - Thoroughly explained and showed me the concept of "work to live, not live to work".

Rock, Paper, Scissors - Improved my logical analysis of business strategy X10 (Game Theory Book)

Rich Dad Poor Dad - Influenced my definitions of assets vs. liabilities. I also consider this book the sole reason I rent as opposed to own.

The Art of War - Helped me understand the true costs of "winning" and this combined with rock,paper,scissors = pro strategy.

Black Swan - Great lessons on risk, luck, and what life's game changers are really composed of (including disruptive technology)

Little Red Book Of Selling - Great book to build your sales processes from

Blink - Affirmed my confidence in my "gut" feelings and to always listen to red flags.

The Elusive Quest for Growth - Showed me the answer to fixing poverty; incentive

Lawrence Of Arabia (Only skimmed through after watching the movie) - Shows me what perseverance + standing for what you believe can do
