I've heard 48 laws is good

2018-03-12 16:09:21 UTC  
2018-03-13 04:38:48 UTC  

It's real reading hours lads who up

2018-03-13 05:00:10 UTC  

@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.

2018-03-13 05:24:58 UTC  

Yeah

2018-03-13 05:25:02 UTC  

I dont mind a basic overview

2018-03-13 05:25:31 UTC  

Thats what Im getting from Win Friends and Influence People so far

2018-03-13 05:25:40 UTC  

and appreciate the historical examples of how to apply them

2018-03-13 05:27:14 UTC  

Watchu reading?

2018-03-13 05:41:03 UTC  

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.

2018-03-13 05:41:38 UTC  

That and Sorrows of Young Werther, only about 60 pages in but I like it so far

2018-03-13 05:53:18 UTC  

Btw I would highly recommend one of Greene's other books, Mastery.

2018-03-13 06:19:52 UTC  

Ive heard its really good, his best is what I hear from many

2018-03-13 06:27:53 UTC  

Have you read anything from Pat Buchanan?

2018-03-13 14:18:29 UTC  

No, hopefully someday soon but my book list seems to be growing by the day. What would you recommend?

2018-03-13 15:30:20 UTC  

Fellas

2018-03-13 15:30:30 UTC  

Good books on political science?

2018-03-13 16:17:51 UTC  

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?

2018-03-13 16:19:45 UTC  

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

2018-03-13 18:30:47 UTC  

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.

2018-03-13 18:49:01 UTC  

Nick recommended Clash of Civilizations by Sam Huntington I believe for newbs

2018-03-13 18:49:10 UTC

2018-03-14 04:13:44 UTC  

It even has a trailer on Amazon actually lol

2018-03-14 04:29:39 UTC  

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.

2018-03-14 04:29:59 UTC  

So you're doing How to Win Friends and Influence People?

2018-03-14 05:10:41 UTC  

Ya

2018-03-14 08:32:22 UTC

2018-03-14 14:34:32 UTC  

Siege

2018-03-14 14:52:27 UTC  

@🎭🎵 Have you actually read it? I made it through one or two chapters and was bored to death by it.
