Already posted this in Maine, but here it is again, the book is worth reading
Here are my notes form reading Carnegie:
1. Dont criticise
2.Pay honest tribute
3.Remember people's names and use them
4.Listen closely and encourage your conversational partner to talk
5.Talk about things that your conversational partner is interested it
6.Avoid any argument
Now, this is also part of my notes, but I don't know if it was part of Carnegie's book, or something else, anyways, here it is:
Four types of personalities. If you figure out which one your conversational partner is, it will be easy for you to manipulate them. The categories are:
1.Dominance
2.Harmony
3.Balance
4.Stimulant
I don't remember how they were defined, but I guess its not hard to figure out.
Effective phrases to use when trying to convince someone:
1.You don't have to do this
2.I don't know if you want this
3.Now that we're done
General tips:
-get attention
-keep it simple
-repeat
Plato (Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Phaedo)
Aristotle (a selection)
Thomas Aquinas - Summa Theologica
Niccolo Machiavelli - The Prince
Thomas Hobbes - Leviathan
Jean Jacques Rousseau - The Social Contract
Adam Smith - Wealth of Nations
Thomas Paine - Common Sense
John Stuart Mill - On Liberty
Hegel - The Philosophy of Right
Friedrich Nietzsche - On the Genealogy of Morality
Karl Marx - Das Kapital
Adolf Hitler - Mein Kampf
George Orwell - Animal Farm & 1984
John Rawls - A theory of justice
It's about the need for the masses to have some form of governance over them. It's a good way to understand why anarchies fail again and again, and why the state is a nessecary evil.
The mega link is a collection of academic studies (that you generally have to pay for) in PDF format that you can download. They are all about the effects of ethnic diversity on societies

Another study on the effects of ethnic diversity on social cohesion. I'm not sure if it's in the mega link.
https://selfdefinition.org/christian/Gospel-of-Thomas-Scholars-Version-15-pages-1961.pdf
The gospel of thomas, a religious text that was not included in the Bible. It's a great read and not very long, and has some pretty good quotes in it.
https://libcom.org/files/Robert%20O.%20Paxton-The%20Anatomy%20of%20Fascism%20%20-Knopf%20(2004).pdf
The Anatomy of Fascism, by Robert E. Paxton. A good book on fascism, written by a historian/political theorist that has studied fascism all his life. It's pretty objective and certainly doesn't support fascism.
http://aryanism.net/downloads/books/corneliu-codreanu/for-my-legionaries.pdf
For my Legionaries, by Corneliu Codreanu, a fascist in Romania during WW2. It's an interseting read for those who are interested in history, and it covers a lot about Romania's role in the war and how people responded to the violence there. It's also interesting for people who, like I, study political theory and want some primary sources on fascist ideology instead of secondary sources.
And that's everything I have to recomend for now, and everything I can give in pdf form. I'll post some other stuff tomorrow, hopefully, getting a lot of books coming in, stuff on anarchism and some works by Noam Chomsky, which should interesting.
Good finds Lorenzo
Have any of you read Republic by Plato? I'm thinking about getting a copy from the library.
@Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips#6115 I have it, but I've never read it. If you're going for the classics, I would advise Aristotle.
thanks
@Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips#6115 If you want aristotle, I recommend The Great Books of The Western World, Volume's 8 and 9
you can find copies for like 8-10 bucks
I second reading aristotle, alot of his works can be found for free on the internet too.

Finished reading Animal Farm. It's not a long book and kind of amusing. I would suggest you read it, shouldn't take long.
