The value in books, I truly believe that books are the more valuable in weight than gold itself. As all the knowledge inside a single book is years and years of experience and expertise.
The top three books that changed my life are the following:
1. The Game by Neil Strauss -
A story about a true “zero to hero.” Although I don’t’ agree with the tricks and tactics in the book what I got out of it was priceless. Inspiration that anyone could change and be great, and it opened my eyes and my mind to self help books.
2. Rich Dad, Poor Dad, by Robert Kiyosaki -
Taught me what I should have learned in school, or though my father. Totally shifted the way I thought about money.
Playing the board game version Cashflow 101 was another big relation on the way I spend, save, and think of money. - Go to meetup.com and join a cashflow101 group and play the game.
3. Four Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris -
Showed me what was possible. Inspired me to move. Gave me step by step instructions on how to do it.
FYI - There’s a 2 page section on “How to become an expert in your field” I followed it exactly and ended up becoming a Harvard Guest Lecturer on Social Confidence.
What are your top three? Leave a comment, I want to know.
Secrets of the Millionaire Mind - T.Harv Eker

Johnny we’re the same on this one
Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
…this book contradicts my anarchist book, but basically i invested in Korean stocks & made 175,000KRW after just two stock picks I made within 10 minutes of doing buy low sell high - and almost got into a lifestyle consulting business deal but withdrew due to personal differences with a business partner
Shadowboxing in Headphones
Lourd Ernest H. De Veyra
…this book made me pursue Journalism (because the author was a journalist) to write for a newspaper instead of going to an art school in Asia, and got me to write poetry - getting my work published in UC Berkeley and in an International Poetry Journal
an anarchist cookbook
Recipes for Disaster
CrimethInc.
…part of the “charisma” which I projected upon people was because of my ideals which found adherents in anarchism…i believed in complete equality and the incomparability and the soul of each person, that we are beautiful - an end in ourselves, and should be free to choose our ideals above societal pressure…this book shows practical methods for experiencing an anarchist life
Hey guys thanks for the ideas. I’ll definitely check out Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and an anarchist cookbook sounds really cool too.
I just ordered three more books from Amazon yesterday, I’ll let you know guys what I think of them.
Emergency by Neil Strauss - His latest novel.
Haunted by Chuck P, Kokology - a fun book, with questions like “The Cube”
Complete book of Questions - Great for comfort, and asking real questions that allow you to be interesting and get to know someone deeper.
1. The Way of the Superior Man - Awesome read on understanding the female psyche and unraveling the mystery about relationship management
2. 48 Laws of Power - Myriad of interesting philosophies of power. Some of them are not so practical in my opinion however its still worth learning
3. Million Little Pieces - Though the author was non-truthful about the accounts of this story still recommend it. Story about survival and determination. Awesome stuff
