          Finite and Infinite Games made me see how many of our problems are a result of a static and fearful mindset. When you place a high value on openness you have a better life.

          Zero to One is good advice for business, but I also see it as good advice for life/career. Don’t mindlessly get on a track. Do something unique and important. Makes me comfortable turning down good opportunities that aren’t the right fit.

          Zero to One is an experience.

          The Enterprise of Law made me take anarchism seriously as a research topic and also as a desirable political system. I’m still not a revolutionary anarchist, but I can’t unsee the flaws in the existing political system.

          Models helped me understand a) masculinity/myself and b) women. I’m a better man now and my wife is happier.

          How to Talk is an extremely practical guide to parenting that makes it much less of a struggle. Also somewhat applicable to talking to some adults.
