1. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
2. 1984
3. The Sovereign Individ...
And others that I have to note because it’s a crime that they aren’t on the above list!
• Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!
• Trauma and Recovery
• Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess
• Crucial Conversations
• The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck
• The Mystery of Banking
• The Road to Serfdom
• The Inflamed Mind
• The People’s State
• Infidel
• ...so many more
I’ve read so many technical books that have given me a lot of knowledge, but knowledge isn’t hard to come by these days, it’s perspective and an understanding of the human experience that makes you a better person that’s better able to use that knowledge. And that’s why the books on humanity and perspective are the ones I tend to think about the most.
