The Hero with a Thousand Faces
Joseph Campbell
@DylanoA4 @Steve_McGinnis Campbell is in the top 3 most significant influences on my life, but his writing sucks. It's why the Power of Myth is so good. As is "A Joseph Campbell Companion." I've tried and failed the Hero with a Thousand Faces twice.

Magick
Aleister Crowley
@f_alday I guess I always think of Aleister Crowley’s definition of black Magick when I read stuff like that: "the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the will.”

How Nature Works: The Science of Self-Organized Criticality
Per Bak
Weird musing/open question. Per Bak's book "How Nature Works" finds fractal patterns of severity and frequency of market crashes, sandpiles, earthquakes, traffic jams and the brain. But he also found it in mass extinction events....

Shantaram
Gregory David Roberts
A little synchronicity. Like many people, Shantaram is my favourite novel. The TV adaptation is out today and @oloal has released a MAGICAL podcast interview with author Gregory David Roberts. It's about tipping points in life, the exact topic I'm writing a long piece about now https://t.co/HNJGfOfbgp

Outwitting the Devil: The Secret to Freedom and Success
Napoleon Hill
@dollarsanddata I came for the BJJ (thank @DaveNadig for the flag, cc @supermugatu) and stayed for the insights. Great stuff Nick! FWIW Napoleon Hill has a lesser-known but much more bonkers book called "Outwitting The Devil" that has a stronger bias to action. https://t.co/W2KqgMACUy

Uncharted: How to Navigate the Future
Margaret Heffernan
Stumbled on a stunningly good @EconTalker podcast from 2020 with @M_Heffernan. She is an author and 3x CEO. The critical topic: making decisions under uncertainty. Her book is "Uncharted: How to map the future." Some highlights. n/7 👇

The Bottom
Mike Jason
@DaveNadig @profplum99 @jason_koch Makes two of us mate. I am saying we will need more steel/cement/ammonia/plastics (well, I'm citing Smil). I don't know what Mike is saying. The bottom line might be to have a Smil-fan go up against Mike.
