Nonfiction: The Fourth Turning is Here, Neil Howe

The Creative Act: A Way of Being - Rick Rubin

And of course my personal favourite book which I re-read every year; Meditations - Marcus Aurelius

Broken money by Lyn Alden

Two good ones I'm currently reading:

I really enjoyed The Chronicles of Narnia earlier this year.

Last year I read through the Little House series for the first time. That was excellent, I look forward to teaching some of the low time preference lessons in those books to my children.

The Liveship Trilogy by Robin Hobb

The Alchemist. by Paulo Coelho. A wonderful story with deep meaning. Very profound but, at the same time entertaining.

'Lesson Summary. The Alchemist was written by Paulo Coelho and published in 1988. In the story, Santiago, the main character, embarks on a journey from Spain to Egypt and a search for his Personal Legend. When Santiago arrives in Tangier, his plans take a turn for the worse when he's robbed.'

The Alchemist reminds us that each of us can make our own lives—and the world around us—better. But we have to put in the work and be willing to have the courage to confront our dreams: “That's what alchemists do. They show that when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.”

“The passenger” by Cormac McCarthy

Hold on to your Kids by Gabor Mate or Weapons of Mass Instruction by John Taylor Gatto were some of my favourite books in the last year. Took me a bit to get through the Gabor Mate book, but I learned so much! 💯

Fiat Food by Matthew Lesziak

and

The Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate.

Both quite different topics but both the same idea that we're getting it all wrong on a massive scale!

A very entertaining read was The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. It's based on true events but reads like fiction..

Growing up I was always a book worm 🐛 📚

For me, trips to the local library were a weekly (if not twice weekly) adventure that I always looked forward to… I would disappear into the stacks and read the first 10 pages of everything that was interesting to me, and come back out with a huge pile in my arms… smiling and showing my Mom that I struck gold 🙌🏼

The smell of paper and the feel of the well worn pages… the respectful and almost spiritual stillness that hung in the air… weighing you down with the knowledge that, in this place, we are all in our own world… and each of us gets to choose which world to enter… that heavy silence said, “respect it, don’t break the spell… take what you want, and leave in peace…”

I always loved the invisible, yet real connection between me and the person who dog-eared a page that they loved as a silent hint that something vital was about to be learned, or that a turn of phrase was going to hit you right in the chest as real as the thump of a fist…

My mother is a voracious reader and consumes a prodigious amount of material weekly… we were always peas in a pod 🫛 hanging out and reading our books together every day…

I grew up enjoying reading Sci-Fi and Fantasy books… I remember I was 13 when the first book of GOT came out, and I read the entire book in a couple of days, ignoring the teacher in school and getting lost in that world.

There is something absolutely fantastic about being transported into the imagination of another human being. To a place where you can see, smell, hear, touch, and taste the experiences of well-developed characters and ride alongside them while they suffer and triumph through the hero’s journey.

Those authors gave me courage to face bullies, to leave my home town, to travel the world solo (80 countries and counting), to open my own company, to learn to wrestle and how to fight and shoot, learn to fly a plane… along with so many other things…

I gained so many lessons from those characters… thank God for the written word, and for the brilliant and tenacious authors who slave over their craft, carefully twisting and turning phrases until they resonate and penetrate the heart and soul 🙏🏼

I read all the big Sci-fi and Fantasy book years ago… and for years was trying to find new authors to read… I don’t like to support Amazon, being a minimalist who buys locally produced and made goods… but their Kindle Unlimited platform has attracted a huge amount of talented new authors, giving them a place to access the world… For me, it’s been one of the best programs I’ve ever paid for at $12 monthly… being able to carry around a Kindle with over 1000 books on it is a luxury that I am so grateful for…

For those of you who love #sci-fi and #fantasy books, and are looking for new authors that might not be on the big lists of top all-time popular series in the 2 genres… below is a curated list of authors you can try out who produced books I enjoyed and who you can access through the Kindle Unlimited membership.

It is my hope that this list helps some of you who love Sci-Fi and Fantasy to discover new worlds, ride alongside new hero’s and heroines,be inspired to be brave… to have courage… to face your fears… to do what is right, despite the consequences… and to live your life as the hero of your own story 🫡✊🏼

The Three Body Problem trilogy 🫡

Narrowed it down to either:

-The Sovereign Individual

-The Almanack of Naval Ravikant

-The Fourth Turning is Here

-Principals of Dealing with A Changing World Order

-The Way of The Superior Man

or -Snow Crash

Tough call they were all good.

I'm gonna cheat and say:

For fiction: Snow Crash

Nonfiction: The Sovereign Individual.

I've read several great ones, but you asked for one so I'll go with the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson.

I found it to be very inspiring and really, really funny.

Economics in One Lesson is old, but reads easy and refrains from pedantic academic style of writing.

'in God's name: the murder of Pope John Paul the 1st'

Murray Rothbard, What has Government done to our money?

The People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

I’m really enjoying the three body problem series. Both thought provoking and entertaining.

The Bitcoin Standard.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
