Aristotle, but in very subtle ways.
I’ve never really applied anything I learned from reading him, but for about 9 months I read and took notes from Aristotle for 30-60 minutes after dinner.
I can’t explain it but I swear to you it increased my IQ by 10%
My ability to solve problems at work (Data scientist) noticeably improved.
I think what it was was the way he lays out his ideas. it taught me a new way to approach problems.
I know that is vague but that’s because the benefits have been vague

Plato, Aristotle, Xenophon, Cicero, Seneca, Aquinas, Hilaire Belloc. GK Chesterton, Tolkien, Ted Kaczynski, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Codreanu, Ed Feser, and I suppose I'll throw Thomas Sowell in there since I read him quite a bit when I was younger. His fundamental approach toward economics is still with me, meaning I always try to look at things in terms of tradeoffs and benefits instead of problems and solutions.

I suppose that's all the big ones.
