Why These 8 Books Shaped My Worldview

Here are 8 books that taught me, as a young man, how to think properly, set my sights on the "bigger picture", and appraise the world around me with clarity. As men, there are thousands of proposed "solutions" for navigating our early adulthood - career, wealth, fitness, or status being a noteworthy few. While I certainly don't claim to be "wise", I've found that these 8 books have equipped me to see the world, with all of its nuance and complexity, with a "wisdom" far beyond my years. Together, they form the bedrock of my worldview. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapters: 0:00 - Why its necessary to shift through the “noise” of recommendations 0:57 - Book 1: Skin in the Game by Nassim Nicholas Taleb 2:23 - Book 2: Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle 3:46 - Book 3: The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt 5:36 - Book 4: Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky 7:12 - Book 5: Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy 8:55 - Book 6: The Dao of Capital by Mark Spitznagel 11:23 - Book 7: Orthodoxy by G.K.
