Recommended Reading
Books that have informed, inspired, challenged and scared me most.
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
Yuval Noah Harari
All of human history, condensed. Clearly in his field of supreme knowledge, more so than the subjects of books that followed.
A Brief History of Thought
Luc Ferry
A sweeping narrative through philosophical history, including, the often neglected, christian thought.
Man’s Search for Meaning
Victor Frankl
The more readable German cousin of the often neglected “Gulag.” A powerful inquiry into the human soul.
Modern Man In Search Of A Soul
Carl Jung
A thought provoking journey into the human psyche and the collective unconscious world of archetypes.
The Almanack of Naval Ravikant
Eric Jorgensen
Tweet storm inspired. Life and business savvy for the unconventional
Greenlight
Matthew McConaughey
Common sense positivity discovered through a rather colourful life
Apropos Of Nothing
Woody Allen
A fascinating and hilarious window into the life and mind of one of my favourite directors and creative geniuses.
12 Rules For Life
Jordan Petersen
Ignore the title. Pure wisdom and psychological insight.
To Change The World
James Davison Hunter
An ironic title. “To put it bluntly, culture is as much infrastructure as it is ideas.”
Steve Jobs
Walter Isaacson
The Story of a Genius. Steve Jobs didn’t catch and ride a wave of popular modern technology or culture as much as create it.
