Even better than Make Your Bed
Revisado: 04-17-21
Make Your Bed was a great book, but this provides a lot more inspiration. The first book was about developing the discipline while the Hero Code is about how one should go about if one is to pursue greatness. I really admire and respect Admiral McRaven

Historia
Can jokes win a hostile room, a hopeless argument, or even an election? You bet they can, according to Cicero, and he knew what he was talking about. One of Rome's greatest politicians, speakers, and lawyers, Cicero was also reputedly one of antiquity's funniest people. After he was elected commander-in-chief and head of state, his enemies even started calling him "the stand-up Consul". How to Tell a Joke provides a lively new translation of Cicero's essential writing on humor alongside that of the later Roman orator and educator Quintilian.

Some of the quips did go over my head but I have the physical copy so I can revisit them. Very subtle humor but still holds true to today when it comes to humor. Gives you an insight on the philosophical nature of comedy.

Historia
No ideological assault has been more ferocious than radical feminism's 40-year war against women. And no battlefield leader has been more courageous than Phyllis Schlafly. In these dispatches from the battlefront, feminism's most potent foe exposes the delusions and hypocrisy behind a movement that has cheated millions of women out of their happiness, health, and security.

A must-read!
Revisado: 04-15-21
I was introduced to Phyllis Schlafly when Michael Knowles was discussing the inaccurate movie or tv show that was about her. I came across this book and figured it was going to a regular redpill book. It was but it wasn’t boring at all. She doesn’t waste anytime with unimportant details and is very direct with what she discusses. It’s mostly a timeline structured book but it’s incredibly important to read how bad feminism was and still is. Feminists are basically Marxists

Historia
Albert Camus' The Stranger is one of the most widely read novels in the world, with millions of copies sold. It stands as perhaps the greatest existentialist tale ever conceived, and is certainly one of the most important and influential books ever produced. Now, for the first time, this revered masterpiece is available as an unabridged audio production.

An absurd, yet very interesting read
Revisado: 04-13-21
I was curious about Camus after seeing him mention in the movie Jarhead.
The Stranger starts very slow and will seem like it doesn’t go anywhere until you get closer to Pt. 2 then it really takes you away from a first person perspective to an objective audience (even though Mersault is telling the story in first person). It deals in absurdism which incorporates warmed-over nihilism (I’m not a believer in nihilism) but what makes Camus’s philosophy different is that you could easily understand that situations may happen with any rationality/reason. I do believe everything happens for a reason, but it’s not always from a religious standpoint as it’s commonly associated with. The book isn’t overt with absurdism because you’re witnessing it and you have make the judgment for yourself

The movie is better than the book
Revisado: 04-07-21
You rarely hear about the film adaptation of a book being better than the book, but this is one of them. The problem with the book is that it is discombobulated being that he jumps from one story/area of his life to another without any respectable transition. It’s not boring, but it’s not a good book either.

Historia
Jonathan Haidt skillfully combines two genres-philosophical wisdom and scientific research-delighting the listener with surprising insights. He explains, for example, why we have such difficulty controlling ourselves and sticking to our plans; why no achievement brings lasting happiness, yet a few changes in your life can have profound effects, and why even confirmed atheists experience spiritual elevation.

Great book, but horrible narration
Revisado: 03-24-21
I haven’t even finished the book because it’s hard to concentrate on it with a narrator who speaks very monotone and dull and makes the chapters seem longer than they are.
I recommend the book nonetheless. Jonathan Haidt has written great books. I wish he would’ve narrated

Historia
Far more than a "business memoir", What Are the Odds? is a raw, authentic account by a man many thought would never rise above his serial, addiction-fueled failures. Mike's gripping narrative transports listeners from his small-town tavern with its colorful cast of "regulars" to Mexico and a drug deal gone awry. From Las Vegas casinos, where Mike won and lost fortunes as a professional gambler, to a jail-cell beatdown. From failed rehabs to his 20-year marriage, an ideal union decimated by addiction. And finally, to the redemption of the most shameful moment of his life.

Truly an inspiring story!
Revisado: 03-18-21
I support Mike Lindell and his company. I wanted to read this book when I discovered it in store. He is proof that one can overcome adversity in life especially with a debilitating addiction such as drugs and gambling. Not only that, but God is truly wonderful and to have really given Mike many chances to redeem himself is astonishing. While it is a great story, it’s laden with details to where you can get lost. Nevertheless it really is inspiring. I own a few MyPillows and they are fantastic

Historia
Serving as a powerful follow-up to Jordan Peterson’s book 12 Rules for Life, Dr. Gad Saad unpacks what is really happening in progressive safe zones, why we need to be paying more attention to these trends, and what we must do to stop the spread of dangerous thinking. A professor at Concordia University who has witnessed this troubling epidemic firsthand, Dr. Saad dissects a multitude of these concerning forces (corrupt thought patterns, belief systems, attitudes, etc.) that have given rise to a stifling political correctness in our society.

Definitely Redpill Book

I enjoy Gad Saad, but this book is very basic redpill knowledge and almost nothing profound. I’m adding it to my bookshelf however because he’s not wrong nor is it a bad book.

Historia
In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

Why Good People Are Divided - Good for whom?

Very insightful
Revisado: 02-18-21
I always figured the division is based upon the subjective morality but this book delve more into it and challenged those like me who believe are moral objectivists. It didn’t challenge me in the sense that he was saying I was wrong in my belief, but in the manner of questioning why do I believe what I believe especially as a conservative libertarian.
Around the middle of the book I did get lost when he discussed the behaviors of some animals. I was at work so that may be just me.

The culture of “safety” and its intolerance of opposing viewpoints has left many young people anxious and unprepared for adult life. Lukianoff and Haidt offer a comprehensive set of reforms that will strengthen young people and institutions, allowing us all to reap the benefits of diversity, including viewpoint diversity. This is a book for anyone who is confused by what’s happening on college campuses today, or has children, or is concerned about the growing inability of Americans to live and work and cooperate across party lines.

Very well written and important read
Revisado: 02-13-21
Jonathan And Greg both don’t beat around the bush to get to the point. Very direct and simple to understand.
I used to have the old man mentality like “oh those damn snowflakes”. This book doesn’t disprove this but it does explain exactly why they are the way they are. The problem with some bumper sticker conservatives (I’m a conservative libertarian) is they rant about the youth without providing any substance to those views. They don’t really get down to the psychology and philosophy behind safetyism and we can’t just laugh at the triggered and expect we’re gonna combat this culture war we are in. This book really helped me understand the psychological and philosophical perspective of those “snowflakes”. While I oppose their distorted worldview, I understand the basis for their beliefs.
