Anyway, we live a very challenging time (I think). In my life I've always sought balance. A friend gave me the book for a Xmas gift titled "The Stoic Way of Life" by Marcus Epictetus. Interesting read. I finished it in combination "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius. I found both to be companions of one another.
Just started Meditations, haven't formed an opinion yet.
My last few have been decent reads.
Antifragile by Taleb. Intereting read that brings up some good thoughts. A bit long, but the ideas have merit.
The
End of the World is Just The Beginning by Zeihan. Not nearly as doomsday as the title sounds. I'm a fan of Zeihan, though not a disciple. Just like hearing different ideas.
Accidental Superpower by Zeihan. I enjoyed this much more than the book above. It's a great read on how we became a superpower, and why we'll likely will remain so.
