Anything stoicism based, usually a good place to start is Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

A Mans search for meaning by Victor Frankl. A must read for any human.

Extreme Ownership - Jocko Willink & Leif Babin

How to win fiends and influence people - Dale Carnigie.

Plus any biography of people you admire or respect.

Zerohedge, Reuters, and The Guardian are where I get my news.

I like a lot of the political neoreactionary stuff like Moldbug, Sailer, Spandrell, and Jim. I also like older political stuff like Marcus Aurelius, Nietzsche, Machiavelli, Evola, and Edward Abbey.

I listen to podcasts by Order of Man, Myth of the 20th Century, Fash the Nation, and occasionally I watch TL;DR's stuff because it's interesting.

Every so often I like to catch up on HBDChick, Sobl (rip), Atavisionary, MPC, and Richard Cooper.

I also casually browse The Golden One, Jack Donovan, Goldmund, and Captain Bogroll.

Political hoax stuff: combining facts, common sense and basic psychology = feels like 99% of what you see and hear in mainstream media is a lie

Biographys Old wise people and tactics like 'the art of war'

The Art and Zen of Motorcycle Repair

It's written in such a manly way (if that's a thing). When I read it, it just fills me with this feeling of self-reliance and manliness.

Additionally:

The Shortness of Life by Seneca

Art of Living by Epictetus

44361066 · 2019-03-12T19:19:29+00:00

Evola’s books

Once I finish The Book of Pook my next read will be Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. I'm really excited I have heard great things about it. I think it will really help me.

Existentialism is a humanism: great explanation by Sartre. The Fall: My favorite Camus novel. Waiting for Godot: Excellent play pertaining to the Theater of the Absurd

50th law changed my life

Start with the classics (as in, Roman and Greek epics and comedies) and take a trip through time until realism like Mccarthy, Bukowski, Kerouac etc.

all of the authors from the beat movement are pretty masculine. Don't skip modernism either - Faulkner, Joyce, Lorca etc

Ultimately make sure it interests you - no point reading 1200 pages of David Foster Wallace or Tolstoy if you don't care

Kurush559 · 2019-03-13T08:44:38+00:00

As for philosophy -

The Greek stoics

avoid neostoicisim (this is 16th century stuff and very centred around worship of God)

Read the Bible - so much of our literary and philosophical canon stems from here

Read Balthasar Gracian, Julius Evola, Sartre, Lacan, de Beauvoir, Camus, Kierkegaard, Derrida (for the lols). I wouldn't recommend spending too much time on Nietzsche.
