Just got done reading Corey Taylor's first book "Seven Deadly Sins" and just started his 2nd one which has to with religion.

Last RP book I read was Game by Roosh V and wow that was an eye opener.

“As a Man Thinketh”. It is a simple, short book. It gives many situations where what is in a persons mind affects their situation. This combined with other books that teach how your environment affects your thoughts/actions, makes me build a good mental foundation of what I want in people around me. I’ve recently let go of many “friends” that seemed to hold me down. At the core, I was the cause of them holding me down but I won’t waste energy on focusing how to have them not let me down. Letting them go is easier and more profitable. Just like if you have friends that talked down to you all the time, it’s your own fault at the core that what they say affects you BUT why would you even keep them around? Build your tribe with people you trust and want to be around.

Non-fiction is Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era by McPherson. His presentation is a little too left-leaning for my tastes, but I've previously read on the subject and like to hear all possible historical interpretations.

Today I was reading about how Andrew Jackson was anti-capitalist and anti-bank which makes it kind of funny and ironic that he's the face on the 20 dollar bill.

Fiction is The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, a fabulous read so far. I highly recommend it.

If you like that codependency book, 'Codependent No More' by Melody Beattie is good.

I think reading about codependency is huge. It slips in in subtle ways many people don't realise.

I'm reading Rational Male again, and Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck again.

Just finished reading a book "the art of endurig yourself, a path to inner freedom" (german book, title translated) on how to achieve inner freedom. It's about knowing what emotions you have and distancing yourself from them, on how to live your own life without having to meet others expectations. I wrote a summary. If intetested I can share it.
