I want to leave you with a reading list that doesn’t sway any which way politically, just books to understand the world around you. I’ve been homeless, Ive saved lives, I’ve taken lives and I’ve worked to get us to mars. I’ve traveled the world not as a tourist but lived in many different societies. I’m saying that as it might give you some incentive to pick these books or audiobooks up.
Again, The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith
Mans search for meaning by Viktor Frankl
The Gulag Archipelago By Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn
Memories, Dreams, Reflections By Carl Jung
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer
The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi
The Prince By Niccolò Machiavelli
Meditations By Marcus Aurelius
Republic by Plato
Propaganda by Edward Bernays
If you just would rather stick to podcasts, listen to dan Carlin’s hardcore history.
This is humanity and the world you live in. If you don’t understand this you live in the dark and your dreams will always be just that, dreams. You’re young, passionate and just want what’s best for the world. Intellect is nothing without wisdom.
Same. I have a feeling your views will change as you grow older, and I believe in a world where people can have opposing views yet still talk to each other. When I was in high school socialism sounded great, I hated the military and was an edgy atheist. Here I am now, a veteran, I believe in a higher power and understand why our capitalist society is the better options despite its flaws. Again, the books aren’t meant to sway you away from socialism, just to give you wisdom of the world I wish someone would have given me in my early 20’s.
