It's pretty neat. God being an artifact of language is a fascinating concept. It is almost like how the number three can be represented as a triangle, or 0 = False and 1 = True.

>>56418648
I agree. I went too far calling it nonsense. It's thought provoking but I'm not yet convinced by it. At any rate the archeological info is interesting.

Same for me, it completely turned around how I deal with people. I actually need to reread it. I'm amazed that people will read the entire book and then proceed to disregard all of it.

We snow crash back in the day! Martin Eden is very important. I will look into these other books anon. You might enjoy Sidhartha, though I no longer read Hesse because freemason. In the Martin Eden vain, might I suggest Ragged Trousered Philanthropists. I is a first person account of being poor in the old days, the Martin Eden days. It is quite grim, and quite applicable to these coming times.

Hesse is alright, I read something else by him and liked it, but I feel like he is too far out there like Kafka in some ways. I will check out Ragged.

Btw, the last book I am talking about was Lillith by Salamanca. I read half of it yesterday after a decade. It's better than I remember, but probably way different than other books on the list.

>>56419315
>>56420845
That book is complete shit by a nobody who never achieved anything. It's the worst out of the common shit people recommend like The Prince, The Book of 5 Rings, 48 Laws, whatever the fuck else. It's literally worse than The Richest Man in Babylon. Those are all basic but at least have useful content even if it's on the tier of "sleep 8 hours" obvious.

>>56425873
The words within are common sense but it's not obvious to everyone. Especially not for me since I was a borderline autistic loner throughout high school. I had to read that book and a website called Succeed Socially to figure out how to be a normie in college.

This is a great question because homoswxuality is inherently unsustainable. Thus any gains a fag makes are ill-gotten and fraudulent.

>>56425873
The Prince is a great book so is 48 laws of power. You are at the whim of manipulators without knowing their tools. With that said I'm going to check out that book you wrote off based off your reaction

I just look at the words until I fall asleep

>Kant's teaching produces a fundamental change in every mind that has grasped it. This change is so great that it may be regarded as an intellectual rebirth. It alone is capable of really removing the inborn realism which arises from the original disposition of the intellect ... In consequence of this, the mind undergoes a fundamental undeceiving, and thereafter looks at all things in another light. But only in this way does a man become susceptible to the more positive explanations that I have to give.

>I confess that I do not believe my teachings could ever have come about until the Upanishads, Plato and Kant were able simultaneously to cast their rays into one man's mind.

>>56419315
I read this book but have forgotten it.
I need to read it again.

I only remember from it to put myself in the other person's perspective.

>>56426321
I have been thinking about the implications of using the knowledge of manipulators lately.
The law 10 of power integrated with my soul when I discovered it and I have been using it to find people to learn and improve from constantly.

However I seem to go through quick changes in my personality because of this.
Every 10 or so months I change completely which changes the type of people I like and want to be around, and those I learned from become less relevant to my life.
It feels like I am behaving a bit like a sociopath from this perspective because I change the people I associate with in order to improve quickly and "subconsciously dump" those who can't teach me anything in order to focus on the new people.

When I later look back however I see that I seem to be the exception and other people don't change that much and keep their social contact.
Why is that so?
Is change limited by the ego and a special thing?

technically reading any book even shitty ones is self improvement. you are improving your ability to discern shitty books and good ones.

I feel like what you need to read, if anything at all, depends on where you are now, and where you'd like to be.

A dash of motivation probably wouldn't hurt most people, but taking some sustained action over time towards lifestyle changes will definitely help. Most people skip that part and move onto another self help book instead of lifting weights.

I have my favorite, and I've read alot of them. It was the last one I read before actually getting off my ass and doing something.

I feel like it doesn't really matter which one you read, because they all basically say the same thing. The most important thing you can actually do is start doing something besides reading more books about about doing something.

>>56428810
No I hear you. And you’re right. Motivation is a choice to make and do. Not a skill to learn or resource to acquire.

48 Laws of Power is great but tends toward cold sociopathy, which is why I recommend How to Win Friends. A prime difference between the book is that Carnegie seems to have loved humanity while Greene seems to despise it.

>>56425815
>unless highly technical
Give us some examples of it

>>56418509
Thinking, fast and slow

>>56418509
>>56429573
At some point, in any field, getting rich and successful is all about political maneuvering. This is why Greene is a pretty good author while every book about having good habits or waking up at 4am are shit.
But unironically the best you can read are biographies of great men. The biography of Napoleon or Ceasar will teach you much more about political maneuvering than the 48 Laws of Power and are much more pleasant to read.

One Up On Wall Street - Peter Lynch

>>56418535
In the amazing book Moby Dick by the author Herman Melville, the author recounts his story of being at sea. In the first part of his book, the author, calling himself Ishmael, is in a small sea-side town and he is sharing a bed with a man named Queequeg. The author and Queequeg go to church and later set out on a ship captained by the pirate named Ahab, who is missing a leg, and very much wants to kill the whale which is named Moby Dick, and which is white. In the course of the book, the pirate Ahab encounters many hardships. His entire life is set around trying to kill a certain whale. I think this is sad because this whale doesn’t have any emotions, and doesn’t know how bad Ahab wants to kill him. He’s just a poor big animal. And I feel bad for Ahab as well, because he thinks that his life will be better if he can kill this whale, but in reality it won’t help him at all. I was very saddened by this book, and I felt many emotions for the characters. And I felt saddest of all when I read the boring chapters that were only descriptions of whales, because I knew that the author was just trying to save us from his own sad story, just for a little while. This book made me think about my own life

>>56425864
The only book by Kafka I remember reading is America. It is unfinished and very based and white pilled. Tried to get an idea on Lillith, but it didn't quite register. I hardly read any more. Sometimes I do an audiobook. Am running audio of remininscinces of stock broker from this thread it is okay. The Lilith description reminded me of a guilty pleasure, the Rosey Project. It is a romcom that follows the script, but written by an autist and even has a sequel where it takes a whole team of rockstars to get him outta the shit of the first book.

>>56426321
Prince is excellent and timeless, a work of a fellow autist. 48 laws is fine, the laws are good, but it waffles too much, too much sizzle not enough steak for my liking. An executive summary or scanning through a printed copy might work better. It sucks in audio and I drift off.

Thanks anons, I am half way through the audio that is on the torrents. It is a very enjoyable vignette of the times, and the stuff that goes on goes on today at a slightly different scale. Scamwicks and such. The bucket shops and brokerages you can just walk into in many towns is such a strange world. His trading strategies sure could get you into a world of hurt, but it is nice to know how ones fellow market participants think. Livermore was an absolute degenerate gambling madman. He could be the patron saint of wallstreetbets.

I had already independently contemplated every thought that any "philosopher" has ever pondered, while on the shitter, before I turned 14.

>>56432607
If your whole family was in a snake pit, who would you give the ladder?

I've posted about this one before, but if you care at all about creating trusts for your children or grandchildren, or want guidance on how to discuss matters of wealth with them (assuming you've made it), I'd recommend pic related.
tl;dr: when you have enough monetary wealth that it is no-longer a concern for your children, you need to raise them to build other forms of capital (social, educational, spiritual, etc). Those other forms of capital will both keep your money for multiple generations (by enforcing the right skillset, values, networks, etc to keep it) and grow the status of the family beyond simply having wealth into a family with real old-money power.

>>56432800
This is a good suggestion. Hughes has written a few other books on the subject too.

The author is a lawyer, but anons who are looking for a book on the detailed mechanics of trusts and foundations will be disappointed by this book. It's about the big picture.

>>56426857
>Is change limited by the ego and a special thing?
I think so.
They are just comfortable with the way things are and see themselves as an imprint they don't want to change at all, since that's what they became/are.
Most of the friends I've had were happy with their normal life that did not include new and exciting stuff.
Nobody strived for the maximum possible.
And if you are someone who is unusual among unusual men, then you will eventually dissect yourself to pursue your own path.
Tho, this can lead to you ending up alone since the chance of you building lifelong bonds shrinks substantially.

How do you get along with having zero soulmates around you or how's your social circle like?
