Books that changed how you socially interact?

[carwash35]

For me "the rational male", "how to win friends and influence people" and "48 laws of power" have been the most profound. What about you guys? Any recommendations?

That was around a decade ago.

That book is all about letting go of your preconceived notions. About everything.

I ended up a fvcking beast.

For better or worse, depending who you ask.

After that I found my way to philosophy.

Schopenhauer, for sure.

Seneca, fine tuned it.

I will check it out along with the 48 laws of power mentioned above.

Creative visualization by Shakti Gawain changed my life while still living at home.

Harry Browne's book is more immediately useful.

I'm sure people that studied the fvck out of the 48 Laws eventually found it useful...

...I never did.

The 50th Law was Robert Greene's best book, in my opinion.

One of my favorites, too

He finally cut through the subversiveness, and started giving actual advice.

Albeit through another person.

But still.

The list is ****ing long, but Think and Grow Rich is a great start.

And yes, changing how you act socially begins with finance.

Psycho cybernetics was life changing for me as well. I'll take a reread.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. It was his personal journal and on his deathbed he wanted it burned. The scribes decided it was too valuable and made it into a book. I reread it at least once a year.

I see a couple here I haven't read, I'll check them out.
