This combo of books is a good way to develop a growth mindset and get you over the hurdles of a fixed mindset. It doesn't matter what you read though if you don't start applying the principals and put in work. Reading without application is my biggest problem.

The Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi

Wish I'd have read it when I was 14, would have saved me from tons of girl-related troubles and self-esteem issues. The 1-star reviews on goodreads from angry women and betas should tell you everything you need to know.

Not earth shattering per say, but well worth the read...Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies and WHY? Can apply to a lot of different aspects in life and the book is a great read full of stories of common people willing themselves to survive.

As a Man Thinketh and The 8 Pillars of Prosperity

You MUST read both. Very short reads. Great message AND great writing. I love them.
Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comes with a terrible price: the illusion of limitless time, and a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running away from the one reality that faces us all.

My cotribution

“Man search for meaning” viktor frankl- such a deep story, about a psychiatrist that had a chance to escape the nazis with a visa given by the USA, but instead decided to stay to be with his parents. It shows the human condition as in how he notes how when the nazis were taking everything away from the Jews, some people could not accept how they were losing everything and thus could not cope with the reality they were no longer rich or in positions of power, thus they would rather die than live. Also how if you don’t have a “why” you won’t find a “how”. Frankl’s Life work he was about to finish was literally burned by the nazis when they capture him, and he promised himself in camp he had to life to re-write it. He almost dies or is killed in many occasions, he seems to escape each time, he is sick and has typhus, much like all his comrades. A real page turner

Currently reading
“Who moved my cheese” spencer Jonson MD. - it’s about accepting change, tells a story of two tinny people and two mice, that search for cheese to eat, the little people get comfortable while the mice know that once the cheese is gone, they can’t dwell on the past or “how things housed to be” the mice get their sneakers and run the maze with no complains. While the little people complain and just hold on to the feeling of how things “ought to be” “ it’s not fair” and take no action. This story is obviously a parable.

Will post more as I finish more books

The Call of the wild. Excellent writing, has some important life lessons for a man.

Uh, a bunch of other books from ww2 like communist mannifesto, mein kampf, mussolini autobiography. They make you understand history. Every man should understand history.

Just started reading 'Psycho-Cybernetics' thanks to the recommendations from many in this thread and I'm finding it extremely interesting and motivating so far. Thanks brahs.

Tucker Max is a legend. Don't even care if his stories are made up, they're awesome.

Gonna start reading this book again.
