I'm sick of fiction and now I read self help and pop science, where many anecdotes from different fields are used to illustrate points.

Focus by Daniel Goleman is what I'm reading now. What next, anyone?

I don't read textbooks, I use google scholar to research things I'm interested in with a filetype:pdf search modifier.

Quit being a goddamn pleb.

Why did you repost this when I asked you not to? are you just being edgy, or do you seriously not have consideration for other people?

Don't know, I think because you were being overly cautious about making sure no one would.

>>6578525
If you read it you might learn something. That Focus book for instance will summarise a recent paper or study in a concise way, something you'd never hear of otherwise, and footnote it. I can tell you're fucking nong nong so stop talking.

That's pretty fucked up, dude. There's a reason I was being so cautious and I said it earlier.

Have you read Antifragile? I got it out from the library but didn't get to it, what did you think of it.

I didn't finish Black Swan but read Fooled by Randomness which I rate highly. He has a nice darkness.

I think it was great.
