The Courage to Be Disliked

This year I quite enjoyed: - The Bright Sword, Lev Grossman Modern take on King Arthur, very fun, wild ride. - The Courage to Be Disliked, Ichiro Kishimi Philosophy as a dialogue between teacher and student, lots to think about.

The Three Body Problem (Liu Cixin) for my best friend. It's some of the best sci-fi I read. The Courange to Be Disliked (Ichiro Kishimi, Fumitake Koga) to a friend that was struggling with social anxiety.

- Awareness by Anthony DeMello - The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi - The Virtue of Selfishness by Ayn Rand - Only the Paranoid Survive by Andy Grove --- More stuff here: http://www.ryanglover.net/library/ (not flagged specific to entrepreneurship but all have had an influence in one way or another).

Since 2007, I've taken detailed notes on every book I've read, then posted them on my site with my top recommendations up top: https://sivers.org/book My top recommendations here for the Hacker News crowd - with a nudge for the under-rated, are: The Time Paradox - by Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd https://sivers.org/book/TimeParadox Profound idea that everyone has a primary time focus: either Future-focused, Present-focused, or Past-focused. Fascinating implications of each. Because I'm so future-focused, reading this book helped me understand people who are very present-focused. Also great advice on shifting your focus when needed. I read it 7 years ago, but still think about it almost every day. -- Mindwise: How We Understand What Others Think, Believe, Feel, and Want - by Nicholas Epley https://sivers.org/book/Mindwise Many new brilliant insights, especially about over-estimating the differences between you and others, thereby separating into us-vs-them tribalism. Scan to the end of my notes, to see. If you know more books like this, please recommend them to me. I adore this subject. -- The War of Art - by Steven Pressfield https://sivers.org/book/WarOfArt…
