If you would need to recommend your younger self to read one book which would it be?

Economics in one lesson by Henry Hazlitt, easy to read and digest but it opens your eyes to the inefficiencies of government.
I really liked this one. Read it early in university
“The Austrian Theory of Money” by Rothbard. Not a book, but rather a booklet, which condenses what is wrong with traditional approach to money into 24 pages.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
Atlas Shrugged (as many times as you need to understand it properly)
Ámen!
Just purchased the kindle version from Amazon for my upcoming cruise holiday.
Thank you for the recommendation.
If you need to find any books, check out Annas Archive at https://annas-archive.org/ . Download any book you want, then you can just email it to your Kindle.

Or if you want something selfhosted, set up Calibre. You can just upload the book to your Calibre library and one-click send to kindle from there.
I wish the DeDRM plugin still worked 😕 it was the only way I could justify purchasing ebooks.
I'd also suggest scanning the downloaded file on virustotal.com before sending it anywhere :)
Thanks
Getting an error message when sending an epub to my send to kindle address. Error message doesnt tell me anything, just that it fails (repeatedly). Any idea what that could be? Sending pdf was no issue.
Poor Jeff Bezos, he’s not going to be able to afford his new girlfriend or his rocket if this catches on 🤣
This is Bezos everytime you buy an ebook from him 😂

Btw, Naval has amazing book recommendation list:
Naval was a zero Covid asshole who isn’t to be trusted.
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Not even close.
There are multiple translations of the original book and the book is a scapbook of thoughts and NOT easy to read.
I'd recommend the following version. Only half an hour listening, which you can do over and over ofcourse as a reminder of so many good thoughts and techniques how to interpret the world and its people around you
Listen to A Summary of the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius by Robin Homer on Audible. https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/B081HFH6KJ
Gregory Hays has a good version. A book to read, re-read, chew on. 👌
Understanding Media, by Marshall McLuhan. I should have read this book thirty years ago.

Wish I read it sooner
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen Covey

The Richest Man in Babylon
"48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene
The four gospels. Over and over again.
Ridley's Evolution
I would have liked to have handed Democracy the God That Failed to a freshman in highschool version of myself, just to watch my own head explode.
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. All of our five kids were required to read it before they were allowed to drive. The youngest is now 21 and they’re all killing it and I credit a lot of the personal responsibility thinking that’s created in this book.
"Be not afraid of life", William James

The War Of Art changed my life
