I've heard 48 laws is good
It's real reading hours lads who up
@Solipsistic Vinarchy 48 Laws was interesting but seemed to be impractical for anyone not in politics or climbing the corporate ladder in a highly competitive field, etc. Win Friends and Influence People from what I remember was pretty basic stuff from what I remember. It's been years since I read it but it was stuff like give people genuine compliments and smile at them.
Yeah
I dont mind a basic overview
Thats what Im getting from Win Friends and Influence People so far
and appreciate the historical examples of how to apply them
Watchu reading?
Been trying to get through Philosophy: A Quest For Truth by Louis Pojman (a textbook). I've read and enjoyed a lot of Plato but when I tried to branch out further into other texts like Decartes and John Locke I really struggled to understand what was being said and why so I'm trying to get a better grounding in what philosophy really is all about before I try to go further.
That and Sorrows of Young Werther, only about 60 pages in but I like it so far
Btw I would highly recommend one of Greene's other books, Mastery.
Ive heard its really good, his best is what I hear from many
Have you read anything from Pat Buchanan?
No, hopefully someday soon but my book list seems to be growing by the day. What would you recommend?
Fellas
Good books on political science?
Unfortunately not a subject I've gotten to yet but Plato's Republic has some interesting parts on systems of govt. Are you interested in any particular sphere of poli sci?
Check out Nick's book list if you haven't already, haven't started any but just picked up Krauthammer's Things That Matter and Caro's The Path to Power
I'd just like an intro, I don't know shit. I couldn't even tell you what I'm interested in. I'll check those out.
Nick recommended Clash of Civilizations by Sam Huntington I believe for newbs
As a good first book
Real reading hours who up
me up
and regarding Pat Buchanan, I have Suicide of a Superpower, but yet to read it
I also hear Death of the West is really good
You gotta get on that and let me know if it's good fam
N yea death of west gets suggested a lot it seems
Did you start 48 Laws @Solipsistic Vinarchy
not yet
doing the other one first
I looked into Mastery
looks real good
It even has a trailer on Amazon actually lol
Yea, Mastery was great. I couldn't put it down. Had me totally focused on all the things I wanted to do for probably a few months after. I should re-read it.
So you're doing How to Win Friends and Influence People?
Ya
is there anything i should read before Revolt Against the Modern World
