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.

Mans Search for Meaning was a chilling tale of resilience giving insight in ones ability to control ones thoughts. Meditations was my introduction to stoicism.

I found meditations via the modern stoic legend that is Ryan Holiday.

[@Jamie.Richards]

Endurance is still the greatest book I've ever read and was the book that got me back into reading in my adulthood. It made me realise that waking up in a comfortable bed to go to a warm office when it's dark and raining outside just ain't that bad.

YES, my all time favorite book as well

[@EvansStyle]

I went through that book a few months ago and it's been a game changer in my conversations at college, so much so that even one of my more lefty professors ordered a copy.

[@Matt-hs5jm]

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.

[@Pixellri]

[@np9111]

I am pleased to hear Alfred Lansing's book "Endurance" get a recommendation. 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.

[@PerennialDew]

Two books that completely changed my life: 1. The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, mind, and body in the healing of trauma 2. In the realm of hungry ghosts: close encounters with addiction

The gulag archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Not the easiest book, nor the thinnest, but it changed my perspective on a lot of things!

[@matthewtaal6349]

I’m only halfway through the Gulag Archipelago and my mind is blown! A very eye opening book!

[@threethrushes]

Kolyma Tales by Shalamov. Overshadowed by GA, but a memorable read about the GULag.

[@tinamenon1593]

Solzenitsyn absolutely. Crime and Punishment by Doestoevsky and Frank Kafka too. Classics but the nature of humanity doesn't change. Read the Evolutionary psychology books first then go back and read the classics which are examinations of this behaviour in contexts.

[@hermann5347]

For anyone struggling with the size and complexity of the gulag archipelago, I really recommend the shortened audible version. Including a Foreword by Jordan Peterson and an afterword with Solzhenitsyns son. It´s really a life-changing book and something everyone should read. And in this version it is really digestible for almost everybody, so no excuses. ;-)

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

I just recently read Lying and loved the simplicity of it: short and sweet. Looking forward to reading some of these books. 12 Rules for LIfe and Atomic Habits were somewhat more recent reads that had an impact. Sounds funny, but Marie Kondo's The life-changing magic of tidying up changed the way I was able let go of material things that no longer served their purpose, which then helped me let go of relationships that were no longer beneficial. Plus my drawers actually stay neat now!

[@dauntless48]

The Elephant in the Brain: Hidden Motives in Everyday Life by Kevin Simler & Robin Hanson and Minds Make Societies: How Cognition Explains the World Humans Create by Pascal Boyer would be 2 great life changing books to add to that list.

[@ChrisWillx]

Hanson is a beast. I'm not familiar with Boyer's book. What did you take away from it?

[@dauntless48]

​ @Chris Williamson I read it right after Elephant in the Brain and just like Hanson it uses evolutionary psychology as a lens to answer different social questions but goes further using neuroscience, economics and anthropology to explain: "Why is there conflict between groups? Why do people believe low-value information such as rumors? Why are there religions? What is social justice? What explains morality?" 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.

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.

Long walk to freedom I'm finding inspirational rite now. New favourite quote from that book is someone asking Nelson to do something, Nelson said Im not in the mood. The chief said to him moods are for cattle.

I have this in my home library and I'm looking forward to reading it. I think it's within the next 20 books on my list.

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

Good list & I agree with Essentialism. The rest I haven’t read I yet. Off the top, for me some books would be Richest Man in Babylon, Principals by Ray Dalio, Ready for Anything by David Allen of GTD fame, The Art of the Good Life by Rolf Dobelli

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!

I read Lying by Sam Harris on the plane. Such a wonderful little change to life if you let it change you

I just wanna say I love and appreciate the type of content you put out
