People who are terrified about what others think about them are actually worried about all the shitty things they think about themselves, being reflected back at them. -Mark Manson
-
Denial of the death is by far the best book i have ever read. You wouldn't want it to end while reading.
-
I love Discourses and selected writings by Epictetus. As I love history, I'll check the Lessons of history and The Mosquito. Thanks
-
I was just going through reading slump and your recommendations just gives me energy to checkout these books. thanks
-
Factfulness by Hans Rosling changed my view on the world and gave me a slightly more positive perspective on humankind
-
Just found your channel. Your nine book list is compelling. TY and keep up the great work! Cheers.
-
Understanding Media by Marshall McLuhan was one of the best books I had to read in college.
-
As a youth, three of the most impactful books I read were: Jessica Mitford’s “The American Way of Birth” and “The American Way of Death”. Also “Crumbling Walls: why prisons fail” by Ruth Morris. I worked as a shelver in a public library from ages 13 to 19 and was constantly exposed to works I never would have thought to look for myself. 🤯
-
please keep making more videos like these:)))) I began buying every single book you recommended were life-changing and they're sooo amazing
-
One book I would recommend, especially in the morass of choice we find ourselves in, 'The Paradox of Choice' by Barry Schwartz.
