TRP Self improvement challenge

Say we did this for a year. How about we compile a list of 50 books? Two years? 100 books? How about a TRP library? An ongoing TRP library? Who's going to man this ongoing library? Who will be the TRP librarian?

Would be sweet to have curated books, films, and music for TRP.

How about a book that covers both being an online millionaire and squirting. I would call it : "The piss soaked Prince"

Yeah I am up to this challenge. Now I just need books to read. Does anybody have any recommendations?

Non-American, brown person here. Going to grad school in the Midwest US. I really like the idea of reading a non-fiction book per week. As it is I feel that I am at a disadvantage compared to my American peers in terms of cultural knowledge, girls, etc. I would like to remedy the knowledge part. I have already started lifting. What books do you guys recommend? Could we start a weekly book reading thread?

I'm on board. I've got probably a dozen books I've been meaning to read that I haven't made the time for. Time to do just that. I'm going to start with "The Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramsey. I've been meaning to work out a legitimate budget for myself instead of winging it.

Anyone else interested?

I'm in but I feel /redpillbooks is already doing this and will be more organized. But hey you can improve your self too much

ElCthuluIncognito · 2016-04-16T04:24:40+00:00

Im on board. What do yall think about "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius?

exilesoul · 2016-04-15T18:57:06+00:00

If everyone is stuck for books to read then read all the books by chuck palahniuk (author of fight club) I promise they are the most amazing fucking reads on this planet.

I'm up for a challenge. I love reading but I find it hard to with a full time job, full time school, and social life.

After reading that post earlier about meditation in the morning for 20 minutes, I think I'll start doing that and spend an hour reading afterwards before I start my day. I'll start with how to win friends and influence people. I've had it for awhile but never the chance to open it up.

Maybe make another post on May 15th and tag all the people who said they would do the challenge to see where they are at.

This is TRP, and swallowing the pill was the first challenge. Let's keep it up.

Oh I'm totally down for that. Summer reading challenge. Does anyone know what the best translation of Machiavelli's The Prince is?

We could have a weekly thread where RP'ers post what book they read and give their own synopsis of it. It would be great for discourse in cases of RP'ers reading the same literature and for obtaining suggestions on what to read next. I fucking love this idea. I'm almost done with my certification as well so I will have more free time to read.

Edit: A bit unconventional, but I highly recommend reading "On Combat" and "On Killing" by Dave Grossman. He delves into the psychology and physiology of killing another human being as well as fight/flight. It strips away all the social programming and really lays bare the animals we are amd why we think and act as we do naturally and how we adapted those impulses socially.

glenfiddichlaker31 · 2016-04-16T00:55:46+00:00

Yes I definitely am on board.

If my red pill brethren and the freshly disillusioned need some inspiration, listen to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eO4dP9_Rfc

^ Rules a red pill man should live by, IMO.

Lastly, consider this quote: "A man don't get mad at the truth, he just accepts it and sees if he needs to make a change".

I've got The Prince and Meditations collecting dust on my nightstand. Challenge accepted.

Reading a large volume of books seems to have diminishing returns.

What's the point of reading? Self-improvement? Being more interesting? Entertainment? Artistic indulgence/pleasure? Gaining perspective? Worldly awareness?

If it's the first two, I feel most would be better off picking 1-2 books per month and reading them slowly, critically, and perhaps multiple times, rather than plowing through as much new content as possible.

There is nearly infinite content on the web, and you look at that every day, but if you don't stop to actually synthesize and internalize, you'll most likely just lose it and/or become overwhelmed.
