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.

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.

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
