>>How to Win Friends and Influence people

This tbqhwyf. Aptitude for analytical and abstract thought as well as introspection and self-awareness coupled with decent upbringing precludes your worldview from being changed by books alone. They might help you get deeper into some perspectives, but will never "shake you to your core" like it happens with mental midgets.

*tips*

its good advice. just let other people talk about themselves, and pretend you give a shit. DONT talk about yourself, just let them ramble on, and they love you for it. i use that advice every day

Dude I found this out in 9th grade. Like I'm autistic on the inside but people think I'm nice and sociable because I know how to be polite. It's sad people need to read a book for that.

Joseph of maistres considerations on france revolution. mainly the chapter on violence. Made me realize all the talk of peace was disassociated with reality and that violence is neither good or bad, merely a tool to further a good cause or a bad cause.

There's alot more but I'm basically a white supremacist now and I'm not even white.

The Republic changed my life when I read it as a 19-year-old.

Old man and the sea made me rethink where I was going with my life tbqhwyf. Saved me from years of being miserable

Fictions impacted me since the fist time I read it

How long did the republic take you to read?

Malcolm X's biography hit me pretty hard when I read it early high school. I think most books written from a completely foreign well of experiences have changed my views at least slightly.

Started on a whim, became full fledged Discordian

Nobody 'becomes' a Discordian, you just discover that you were all along.

Everyone will think you are such a nice person and great and all but no one will ever really become your friend.

this is actually one of my favorite books of all time — a brief description of what each line of the hexagram means (in traditional chinese), then each line is followed by selections from western philosophy and literature. he digs deeply: this cannot be understated.

i have discovered parts of myself i did not know and faced them without fear; this book was not the impetus, but instead a powerful catalyst. 5/5
