Mastery

Mastery by Robert Greene also mentions in a few pages this story about the Wright Brothers (they started from their expertise in bicycles, that’s how they got planes right) and it’s def a book the OP might be interested in.

They're not as strong. But to echo that. 21 Strategies of war is good the 51st law is not so great. Mastery Is ok The last I heard from Robert Greene was that he was working on a book about the motivations of people. However, I haven't heard of any progress.

1. Born a Crime (audiobook) by Trevor Noah is an entertaining yet thought-provoking listen 2. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell (just gives a different perception to success all together, at least did for me) 3. Mastery (Robert Greene) - can be dismissed as Anecdotes but really powerful ones 4. Deep Work (Cal Newport) - a guy who doesn't like to be on social media and I found reading about him and stumbled upon this and it's absolutely an insightful read 5. The subtle art of not giving a fk - This is a short, beautiful and an amazing read even if you aren't looking for self improvement

1. A Guide to the Good Life by William Irvine -my first introduction to stoicism. 2. Mastery by Robert Greene -stories about the lives of luminaries such as Henry Ford, Michael Faraday, and Da Vinci on what it takes to be successful. 3. Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story by Arnold Schwarzenegger -for providing me a new mental framework on building discipline and confidence. 4. Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain -for giving me a paradigm shift on how to think about myself and others. 5. Seeking Wisdom From Darwin to Munger by Peter Bevelin -a compendium of cognitive biases and mental models.

Check out anything by Zig Ziglar -> Napoleon Hill -> Andrew Carnegie and Tony Robbins. People miss that sales is not just technique or what you say but state of mind, belief and confidence. Stay away from sales only focus books. If you really want to learn something check "Mastery" by Robert Greene.

Mastery, by Robert Greene! It's the result of years of his research on the process a human goes through to achieve mastery in a field. It breaks the process down to key components and stages and examines masters of various disciplines that exemplify these concepts. The subjects were pretty varied, from Leonardo to Darwin to PG! In short this book is everything I had originally hoped for in Outliers.
