The Holy Bible

The Holy Bible. Even without the religious aspects, it's an incredible document. A lot of human nature is explained.

The Holy Bible. Especially in times of stress, bereavement, worry, etc.

The Holy Bible Start With Why The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck Think Like a Freak SmartCuts

I read the Bible cover to cover. I liked the bible because it dealt with fear a lot. Fear of the guy coming over the hill and slaughtering your whole tribe on a moment's notice. Fear of your whole legacy being destroyed and lost when people you've never heard of show up. I also liked the view of god that he's a jerk, but that's all that there is. It was like they were trying to put together a worldview that corresponded to a reality where terrible things happen all the time, so they made god a jerk. I just think back to what people in the old testament had to deal with on a daily basis and think my life is really not that bad. "Prices and Production and other Works" which is a compilation of F.A Hayek's work by Joseph Salerno. It contains a lot of great criticisms of Keynes theories during the 30s. I used to really think I could understand mainstream economics, but Hayek totally demolished it in my mind and I can't have productive discussions with academically trained economists anymore because I have to start over from first principles with them.…

A world-changing book, to be sure; though perhaps better to understand it in its cultural context, than to read it literally. In either case, for mature audiences only.
