Really shitty that you censor your comment section - having read one of your books on the back of your suggestion, I commented how awful it was, you thus removed it accordingly. I have noticed you do this a lot. You don't honestly engage on here - I really think it's important for people to know how dishonest you really are. I also understand that you employ a company to get you subscribers from "fake" youtube accounts to encourage others to sub to you to through herd mentality - it's pretty disgustingly dishonest behaviour and it's been reported to youtube.

Great book, was my number 1 until I read The blank slate by Steven Pinker. I would recommend reading A conflict of visions first still. The blank slate actually makes heavy reference to A conflict of visions in one chapter. It is essentially a systematic deconstruction of many myths, misconceptions and anti-scientific beliefs about human nature, that plague our society, including the 'unconstrained vision' of human nature. Written by one of the most well regarded experimental psychologists (more scientist, less social scientist) in the world. Reading it will make you realise that science has already largely moved past so many things that we waste our time arguing about. The evidence is in, and for many people, it won't be what you expect.

Hey Chris, thanks for making that list. I will definitely check out some of those books. I'm currently reading 12 Rules for Life, as everyone and their mother has, which we all know is a deeply religious book with some tongue-in-cheek paragraphs sprinkled over the chapters. However, most people overlook Peterson's first book, which is much more difficult to read. It's currently lying on my desk and I've already dipped into it: Maps of Meaning. I, like many others of my generation, was an atheist since I was a toddler. I cursed God for everything wrong in my life (and I had good reason to, as I had experienced the most traumatic things a human can experience by the age of 4, including the loss of the most important person in my life and being sexually abused by the people supposed to take care of me) and turned away from Him. Maps of Meaning breaks down the neuro-psychology of religion and I reckon it's the most important read for any atheist. It's not accessible at all. For one, you can grapple with the ideas of a single paragraph in that book for hours. And secondly, it's not affordable; I borrowed a copy from the library of my university, but for everyone else it can be hard to get by a copy of that book, as it is primarily aimed at an academic audience. But if you can easily get by a copy and you're an atheist, that book will probably be the most important thing you'll ever read in your life. Cheers. Edit: The full PDF version of Maps of Meaning is linked below the Wikipedia article, if you don't mind reading the book off of a screen.

As it was written mid last century the tale is told with restraint by Alfred Lansing and he actually sat down with the survivors to pen their incredible story. It is not just a survival tale, but a window into the understated heroism that was baked into men back then. Their endurance is admirable, but to do so while remaining gentleman is very moving to read about.

One of the things everyone needs to know, especially since the Nuremberg trials and the resulting emphasis on personal responsibility, is what is human nature? And how susceptable are they to doing evil or at best doing nothing in the face of evil actions. To best illustrate the point, and understand why these traits aren't necessarily bad, the following books are the ones to read: 1. The Lucifer effect by Philip Zimbardo 2. The righteous mind by Jonathan Haidt 3. Tribe by Sebastian Junger And 4. The classic: The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

All his books are incredible gems, but I still recommend to all my students and my clients the first one I ever read by him : HOW TO BE AN ADULT. Slim book, absolutely not repetitive, straight to the essential and with super helpful tables to see juxtaposed the neurotic and the sane responses. It’s however far from a simple ‘how to’ book. Life transforming indeed!

Lost Connections, just based on your summary, misses a huge portion of what depression is. There is being sad, but in my experience depression is something different. While negative events can deepen depression, it took me a long time to realize that when things were going well and I was still depressed it wasn't any of the justifications my brain was creating to try and make sense of it, it was something foundationally wrong in my mind. I don't think the book is wrong, just describing one cause of a complex issue.

It very clearly explored these questions in a way that put so much more into perspective and left me feeling like I could do pattern recognition on and understand board social topics that I never thought could have a coherent narrative.

Great books, just bought The Ape That Understood the Universe and can;t wait to read it. I'd add Yuval Noah Harai's book 21 Lessons for the 21st Century. It's mind blowing. In fact so are his other two book, Sapiens and Homo Dues, they're astonishing. Audible does a great job.

Essentialism sounds right up my alley - as a small business owner 'the vital few or trivial many' says a lot. And if i have to read that before anything else... Ive just hit the place order button on amazon

Too shallow. If you Trully want to know why we do what we do, you should dive into energy healing. 'Letting Go' by David Hawking is a good start. 'Emotion Code' by Brad Nelson is a good follow. Or read and apply them together. GL

No Nietzsche? Genealogy of Morals or Will to Power? Those are two books that fundamentally shook the way i looked at human nature, the West and all the modern assumptions we have our biases in.

I might just need to read Lost Connections having spent the last few days completely lost in the dark and it's been awful largely because it's not my first visit to this place and this time round, I really do feel like giving up. I'm 56, enough already!

No it’s not. It’s a collaboration over a very long long period of time that I’m not sure of…and it’s still just not a literary masterpiece. Your religious zealotry just puts your mind in a place of reverence over it.

The. Bible. On audible read by David Suchet. Regardless of your philosophical or religious outlook, it is literally the first book, it is a collection of books, letters, testimonies, myths, legends. It's not a linear narrative. So much of anglophone and western civilization is built on it that to be familiar with its content at least gives you a map that shows the source code of the last few thousand years. And why certain things are happening today...

I have been bothered by procrastination for as long as I remember and this was the first time I’d heard someone gave this invisible enemy a character and personality and pointed a finger at it. He then points out that we are all capable of doing things ie even a basic job etc and you just need to apply that mindset to your creative part of your life. Has it been lifechanging for me? It’s hard to tell yet. I’m pretty slow at implementing ideas into my life so I’ll get back to you in two years. 😂 Just my two cents. 👍
