Anybody have any good book recommendations? Admittedly lately I’ve been especially lazy and have been listening to audio books instead of actual reading. I’ve taken a liking to them
Just finished the 48 laws of power, which is interesting and I took a few things away from it. If you get the audio book the guy narrating sounds like he’s possessed but does a fine job of driving the point home. I’d recommend it.
Now im halfway through Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss… guys a retired FBI hostage negotiator and has some interesting insight into negotiation tactics. I’ve been trying some of these on the old lady. She’s pretty keen so I’ll report back when i have a sustainable sample size.
Not big on fiction but open to suggestions .
Edit: Charlie and hpracing: before you suggest it, I’ve read the reviews of The Art of the Deal and the feedback is terrible.
Influence - Robert Cialdini, book about psychology
The Way of the Wolf - Jordan Belfort, book about salemanship
Fortune’s Formula - William Poundstone, book about the Kelly Criteria and interesting characters around it
The Art of the Deal is actually one of my favorite books, a lot of the bad reviews are fake, sad.
i honestly stopped reading completely by the time i hit hs. it was when i realzied it was more efficient to just read other people summaries rather than thinking for myself. i literally didnt even read the cfa books. i just watched vids and did practice exams.
anyways what i am currntly watching on youtube is a pretty detailed biography on julius caesar. it breaks down his entire career and rise to power until his assasination and funeral. its straight to business which is what like. none of the fluff you see in typical documentaries.
for example this is the ides of march vid. his funeral was pretty inteersting too. they talked about marc antony’s speech. which is nothing like the shakespeare friend’s romans and countrymen ■■■■.
