Stood the test of time — old, widely published, and repeatedly endorsed

Meditations is one of those books I keep returning to when life gets hard. Marcus Aurelius applies to daily life in ways I keep rediscovering.

It's Ryan being like talking about, yeah, talking about Marcus Aurelius and like how you apply that to life. And it's like, these are sort of the ponderings, is that a word? The things that I pull from his books that I underline that mean so much to me. And now, he's delivering them to me in a medium that actually works better, which is these little clips, still read his books. I just mean it's better than underlining a chapter and trying to find that dog eared page. And that's been really brilliant.

[The American Kingpin] reads like The Da Vinci Code

Extra Focus

Jesse J. Anderson

A lot of the themes, ideas and even like direct quotes in this video around ADHD and ADD, a lot of those were taken from an author named Jesse J Anderson. He writes about uh he writes about those things and he does it in a very like relatable humorous way. So if any of this kind of stuck with you, or felt familiar to you, or any of these ideas uh discussed in the video you should definitely check him out!

Class

Paul Fussell

2.8k

There's this amazing book written in like 1980 by Paul Fussell called "Class." And it's about social classes, socioeconomic classes. And the highest class is called the X class, which is a class like above and beyond. I might be butchering this. And what they have in common with the lowest class, which are the destitute, is that the richest people in the world never handle money and don't have to deal with phones or anything like that. And then the destitute have no money to handle and they don't deal with phones or other people or anything like that. So like there is this, the polar ends of the spectrum.

American Kingpin

Nick Bilton

Everything in here is factual, but it reads like The Da Vinci Code. It is unbelievably riveting it does that thing where at the end of every chapter it leaves you with just enough... like aah and you have to read the first paragraph of the next chapter and then before you know it it is a downward spiral and you end up finishing this book.
