Post a picture of book cover for the visual learners / rememberers

Brief synopsis of book and why you think others would benefit from reading.

I'll zap 1000k sats until I run out. Others feel free to zap sats if you are so inclined.

I'll post a book a day until I run out of material.

Deep Survival by Lawrence Gonzales

This is a book that weaves in true stories of survival and the brain mechanisms / neuroscience of what is going on in these people. I read this book in my training prep for the 2012 Death Race (that I finished....failed in 2011). This book inspired me to keep moving no matter what...that i'd literally die before I quit.

I do recommend the audio version over the print version b/c the narrator has an incredible voice and the power of "story" is amplified by hearing the saga of survival from someone else.

Never ever give up. Relentless forward motion in all situations.

Please post a book that has meaning for you and add to this chain....in case directions were not clear.

The Mandibles by Lionel Shriver

While this book has become a bit of a meme now, it really helped illustrate to me how quickly your life can change with shitty money and an overbearing nanny state. Family can both be a blessing and a burden.

Awesome book! Finished it a few months ago and agree with your assessment. Zapped!

Mandibles is great. I listened on audio (good quality), and it turned into being of the reasons I picked these ones up for. Wanting to lower the risk profile across the board.

Still having to chew up more through these, they are for sure pretty beefy, but had great references from other Bitcoiners prior.

I have it. Still need to get into it. Im slackin'. Zapped!

Never split the difference by Chris’s Voss, for anyone that wants to get better at conversation/ productive dialogue with others there are many good nuggets in this book about how our brains work/ process conversation. It’s been a real upgrade for my communication.

Will look into it. Thanks for recc. Zapped!

Perceptions of a Renegade Mind.

I read this in the height of covid fear-mongering and it brought to light many of the absurdities of our clown world.

Normies may consider David Icke controversial but that only speaks to their ignorance. Anyone who reads his books knows he’s actually love and light. He just so happens to be against organized crime in the form of corrupt world government, banker’s wars, depopulation efforts…etc.

Many on Nostr are likely based already but this book will certainly rewire any reader’s mind to be more free and critically thinking.

Apparently I don’t know how to upload a photo on Damus so here’s my goodread’s review and link to the book.

Cheers, fren 🐸 🧡

The language is simple and easy to understand. Has a lot of excellent information about bitcoin and fundamentals. As well as good examples of current monetary systems and policies. Highly recommended.

One of the few btc books I haven't read yet. Will get into it! TY. ZApped.

The wall speaks by Jerr. This book helped me down the path of what it meant to be a good husband and father and damn near saved my marriage.

Zapped. Will get into this.

I also am enjoying the rebirth of my marriage and v2.0 is pretty incredible.

Just ordered.

Zapped you for starting a bookchain! Lew Rockwell’s Fascism vs. Capitalism is a fun way to learn about the differences between the two economic systems that many conflate.

Oh no the zap didn’t go through! Said the LN address isn’t set up yet.

When Money Dies by Adam Fergusson

A tough read, but so worthwhile. Illustrates that those in power really have no idea what they're doing. Deficit spending and inflating the money supply are not viable solutions. The book does a great job of showing how inflation fucks the average citizen and how they'll spend their worthless fiat on anything they can as the money is actively devalued.

While our future may not be the same, I think our civilization is on an eerily similar path.

One of my favorite parts in the book is when the money printer literally breaks so the government is forced to stop inflating the money supply (temporarily).

Must read for any bitcoiner.
