Reading

I cannot possibly overstate the influence of reading on my self-improvement and thinking.

I used to read a lot online. Then I realized that wisdom is mostly still to be found in books, not in 5-minutes-at-a-time online articles that drown out your signal-to-noise ratio.

Still, I quote from my online readings over here at a dedicated tumblog.

The books which taught me the most:

• Marcus Aurelius – Meditations
• Viktor Frankl – Man’s Search For Meaning
• Chuck Palahniuk – Fight Club
• Nassim Nicholas Taleb – The Black Swan
• Steven Pressfield – The War of Art
