Warbreaker

Brandon Sanderson

My quest to intensify my fiction reading continues. Last night, I finished @BrandSanderson’s Warbreaker. Amazing magic system, intriguing characters who actually matter in their worlds, and a plot that goes deep. Great work of fantasy. Next up: @PatrickRothfuss’s second book.

Grow Rich!: With Peace of Mind

Napoleon Hill
Arvid KahlArvid Kahl

The story of Napoleon Hill —author of the infamous Think and Grow Rich — is one of deception and fraud. I always found the book too preachy. Knowing where it came from (and the cult it originated), I understand why it bothers me. It's a fabrication. https://t.co/BAWsdrF7Ls

@cblavier Awww :D That's so nice! I probably should do what @jamierusso and @ash_lmb did with their book "If Creators are Like Wizards :D" — cause that was super cute! Ash, Jamie, want to work on a sequel with me? :D https://t.co/US5zcOs10c

The Way: Journey

Luke Way
Arvid KahlArvid Kahl

Luke Skywalker was initially called Luke Starkiller. Intense, right!? In a way, that’s a bit too much foreshadowing. But in the end, both names promise a great story that people wanted to follow along. You can create an equally compelling narrative for your own journey. https://t.co/DfLpQybr0p

Money Master the Game: 7 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom

Tony Robbins
Arvid KahlArvid Kahl

One of the first books that educated me on financial instruments was Tony Robbins’ “Money Master the Game.” It’s not the most elaborate book, and it might simplify a lot of things. But it started a journey that I am very grateful for.

In my research for my next book #BuildInPublic, I've been adding more books that inspire sharing and teaching to my reading list. I recently finished Show Your Work! by @austinkleon. It was superb. What should I read next?

Greg Bear

@david_perell The book that had the most impact on my perception of what may lay out there is Eon by Greg Bear. It was the most well-written book for me at that time in my life. Today, I don’t know if I could even define “well-written.” What’s your take on this?
