one of the worst things about uni, is that you don't want to leave
the amount of constant intellectual challenges, feeling dumb and failing forward is really addictive
Discussion
Is good, but the biggest disconnect from university to reality is how to deal with people challenges in real life. No better read than Dale Carnegies how to win friends and influence people. This is a bible for human OS. Order 2 copies and read once a year.
think i have that one at home in my native language actually
from memory, a lot of it seemed tacky, but maybe i was just young and foolish
It’s an older book, written in 1920s or so. Filled with basic wisdom for people skills. Fundamentals that matter and apply to this day.
yeah will grab it with me when i get home
you're somebody that reads a lot, any recommendations of books about successful people's mindset, approach and inner monologue?
looking to reprogram myself a tad bit, especially as you spoke about the human os
I noted of a few of my personal recommendations from my own experience. These have been helpful to me. Another one that is simple, although his books are super dense AF is David Foster Wallace. I revisit this one often as well. https://youtu.be/eC7xzavzEKY?si=CvgZU-xPgxY87PI4
man you're so resourceful
thank you so so much, i feel like i'm getting mentored, and i'm enjoying every bit of it
Tanel, I’ve known you indirectly for a few years now. I’m an old by the standards and it’s my duty to help. In many ways I’m just sharing what I’ve found value in and learned along the way. Anytime my friend, anytime.
Skimmed through this volume series at the bookstore. Very well written, highly recommend. Wide scope with near term applicability.
and yeah, i definitely agree
university just can't give you that same lesson about people when power and money come into the picture
After Dale Carnegie, Read Robert Chaldini’s “Influence”. Another fundamental human OS gem. If you can handle that then get into Danny Kahnemans “Thinking Fast and Slow”. This one is dense AF but a deeper layer of fundamental Human OS. These are 💯 must reads imo for understanding of psychology if that is something you’re interested in
