A GUIDE TO HAPPINESS - TEACHINGS OF EPICURUS
Recommendation: 8/10 | Reviews on Amazon*
Over 2000 years have passed since Epicurus wrote these teachings, yet they still provide great insight into how to live happily. The best are: “Nothing satisfies him for whom enough is too little”; “if you wish to make Pythocles rich, be not adding to do his money but subtracting from his desires” and “the greatest fruit of self-sufficiency is freedom”.
ANTIFRAGILE - BY NASSIM TALEB
Recommendation: 10/10 | Reviews on Amazon*
Taleb’s style is rough around the edges. That’s what’s so refreshing about him and his work. We need outsiders; challenging the status quo, providing different perspectives and calling out bullshit. Antifragile takes us across disciplines to look at what’s causing fragility in our systems and economies, why and how we can resolve them using the concept of antifragility.
