has any book that actually impacted how you live your life & helped you get to where you are? i'm trying to stack up my bookshelf so gonna do a bulk order of books - any input would be appreciated ideally marketing, business, psychology, etc.

this one is great

@eptwts I actually asked my mates this exact question and I put together this visual from their recommendations a couple of months ago:

@eptwts efficiency by @BowTiedBull

@eptwts zero to one by thiel

@eptwts thought you were against all this reading books stuff 👀x.com/eptwts/status/…

@eptwts Hackers and painters by Paul graham

@eptwts Read books like these. They goes way beyond entrepreneurship, business, marketing, psychology or simply acquiring knowledge. Don’t just read books that teach you how to perform a basic function but read books that enlarge the man capable of performing them all.

@eptwts 'And then you win' from George Kikvadze; really enjoyed reading that and gave me some good perspectives on building startups. Especially relevant now AI is even more advanced in the meantime

The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt - THE foundation for how I think about systems and business. Masterfully written in a way that facilitates the understanding of theory of constraints How to get rich by Felix Dennis - lit a fire under me during a low point and just punted me into momentum like nothing else, I can trace back the ripples of where I am now to that book. Almost like it woke up a dormant part of me Psycho-Cybernetics by Maltz - very useful in and of itself, but beyond that it also led me to other relatively obscure ideas and concepts separated from the bullshit mainstream advice regarding identity, executive functioning and creative efforts

@eptwts Read the personal MBA, its a summary of tens other books you will read. I have a ling list of organised books (by theme) Ive read, you can reach out Ill share the most impactful.

Deep Work by Cal Newport. Probably the only book that permanently changed how I think about work. The idea of deep vs. shallow work has lived rent-free in my head ever since. Emails, meetings, and constant information consumption feel very different after reading it. Even more relevant in the AI era.

@eptwts There aren't too many books I can say actually made me smarter. But hands down, Anti-fragile by @nntaleb did. If you want to learn how to make decisions in a world of uncertainty, this is the book.

@eptwts I have read many books that have impacted how I think, behave and live. But two probably uncommon and less known suggestions are these ones:

The obvious is the Bible. But from earthly books, namely psychology, I'd say PsychoCybernetics. Really helped me mindset develop & how I allow my thoughts to control me. From a business perspective, The $100M series by Hormozi. He can get hate but man those books are tactical & if you apply the information, I promise it will take your business to a new level From a health perspective, Why We Sleep was sooo good. I always new sleep was important but hearing the data behind it rally changed my life. I've got several others but don't want to go on too long. Happy to answer questions/DMs if you'd like more!

@eptwts aeon - jung diplomacy - kissinger very important people - mears cptsd from surviving to thriving - walker beyond good and evil - nietzsche get ready to get rocked

@eptwts how to win friends and influence people, but I'm more curious about you and what books actually impacted your life?

@eptwts Man’s search for meaning by Viktor Frankl

I know you said books but Consulting Accelerator by Sam Ovens literally changed how I saw business & life; obliterated my scarcity mindset Start from Zero by Dane Maxwell - book from Sam Oven’s mentor. more fundamentals of starting a business but he has 5 questions there for starting any biz only other thing I read these days are @ComedicBizman ‘s paid newsletters

@eptwts All of Scott Adams books. How to fail at everything and still win big. Win Bigly. Loserthink. Reframe your brain. Genuinely life changing books. The audiobook version is great too.

@eptwts -Maverick by Ricardo Semler -Checklist Manifesto -Zero Marginal Cost Society -Less from More -This idea is brilliant (more scientific ideas, but several of the essays had a big impact on my thinking) -How to find freedom in an unfree world

business for the glory of god (helped my limiting beliefs around the ethics of business) the creative act (aligned with my concepts of creativity and maximizing surface area to enable it) build (need to reread this myself) six-minute xray (crazy sauce if you can implement into sales, too hard for me currently haha)

@eptwts Tim Ferriss’s The 4-Hour Workweek had a major impact on me. It was where I learned the term "private labelling" how you building a brand around products manufactured by someone else.

@eptwts The Elephant in the Brain - focused on hidden motives of human behaviour 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People - superseded older psychological research on why young people cannot be understood

The AI sprint is hurtling toward a world where anyone can build personal concierges to do everything from executive presentations to March Madness brackets

@eptwts I wouldn't class myself as a Christian, but the bible. I'm reading it with no pressure and no expectations, everything I ever wanted to know is basically in it lol

@eptwts the courage to be disliked ; discourses - epictetus

@eptwts Unironically, “12 rules for life” by JP.

@eptwts Something unrelated to your niche / area but if history has ever interested you then I recommend Napoleon: A Life by Andrew Robert’s.

@eptwts How to win & influence friends by Dale Carnegie, great book on how to get and keep relationships, how to be a better leader etc

@eptwts Yes - Mastery by Robert Greene - Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss - Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz

@eptwts The Psychology of Selling & Million Dollar Habits - Brian Tracy
