Bitcoin Forum

Amazon sent me a gift card for some reason, and I'm looking to spend it on some good book (or books). So, I'd appreciate it if you shared an insightful book you read recently.

- I like politics, philosophy, society, economics, psychology.
- I have enough Bitcoin books, so I'm looking for something else.

Drop your favorite books.  :)

Buy fiction, you also need to relax your brain

I've bought enough fiction.

- Accounts in Drug Discovery: Case Studies in Medicinal Chemistry (Drug Discovery, Volume 4) 1st Edition
This is a sort of specialized book but enough interesting also for people that doesn't work daily in medicine or pharmaceutical chemistry.
It's really interesting see how an idea comes to the market... what are the steps, challenge and so on...

 

Buy, get treatises on trade, network marketing, trading knowledge is never enough

Books relating to Philosophy and Politics:

-The Republic (By Plato) it’s a book that focuses on justice, morality, and true societal ideals in general
-The wealth of Nations (By Adam Smith) text on economics and free market
-You can also check “The road to Serfdom” By Hayek it’s talks about human liberty protection and the danger of totalitarianism

Psychology:
-Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion (by Robert Cialdini) About the art of influence and persuasion
-Thinking Fast and Slow (by Daniel Kahneman) A Nobel Prize-winning economist's take on cognitive biases and decision-making.

Most of the books mentioned here were just recently recommended in my study group by colleagues who haven’t tried them.

Don't Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen

The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book)

This book contains deep meaning on human virtues. Temperance, justice and to mention a few. Hard quite an interesting time reading it earlier this year. Its worth the time.

Start reading (https://www.amazon.com/Four-Agreements-Practical-Personal-Freedom/dp/1878424319/ref=sr_1_45?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JyjxMrbL0CsEqTmLzKno83cltFs6FZ2QF3eQGlqF3V7xR7Cph0h9Sz_nkGvZQhYfFEr01rWI6axwHIMSVQrmqf4e2H7RLMXRwAP05I50CYUzONPF9u1O7CNpb64CbKUFBDHyxEkF0tBCRH9GoQ-b22wnL0xsmr1immm8N3L3waB6zqrHbnJowEFbUU3PdWgVfOfx_e2gzHelXVZXODPSKN8pTw9EIzrzPl7wHg2WEBBJtdLtkjwOJ2-5CB_svBzpRzz-AuYDI5-j0RpWCDaQ8H_HrNRDkQi6_H0PS6uEZ_k.0RPvVQYGfU3mf8R2uhcvEmietBtV--VZDbLrsQWvnQY&dib_tag=se&keywords=philosophy+books&qid=1730832896&sr=8-45)

Paul Vigna, Michael Casey -  "The era of cryptocurrencies."

• Think and grow rich by Napoleon hill - (This book is indeed very powerful)
• High performance Habits by Brendon burchard
• The 80-20 principle by Richard Koch
• The compound effect by Darren Hardy
• Men are from Mars and women from Venus by John Gray
• The five love languages by Gary Chapman

These are books that really set my mind towards greatness and good social standing with others, and I believe it would work magic for you.

Please recommend some good books that made you so knowledgeable on bitcoin, I would surely love to up my game.

How about you try this book I’ve been on lately. THE HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON. Might really be of interest to you. Just maybe

For politics --> The Art of War by Sun Tzu

I don't care how much controversy this reply will make; this is actually a great book. It contains much about society, nation, economy, and the story of the man who invented the first currency backed by physical labor and intellectual work, i.e., a currency that is backed by itself.
https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/11/10/bvFj5.jpeg

You can also read "On the Genealogy of Morals" by Nietzsche, it's a very good book that predict so much of our modern time.

If you don't go into politics and scold the book for Nazism, then the book is excellent. Becoming a human being from scratch in terrible conditions. I read it at one time, I read a third.

Read something related to social engineering

I don't have as much time these days to read as I'd like, but I recently got stuck at an airport for a few hours and ended up spending the time drinking (too many) cappuccinos and reading Michael Strevens' The Knowledge Machine (https://www.amazon.com/Knowledge-Machine-Irrationality-Created-Science/dp/1631491377).

I'll admit to not picking it up again since that day at the airport, but I do plan to, and I thoroughly enjoyed the ~8 chapters that I made it through. It's kind of fascinating, if you think about it, that the Universe even has the property that its internal workings can be revealed, layer by layer, by inhabitants of its own construction, until it's understood (I mean, I get that some people feel/believe that it will never be understood, at least not completely, but I think we're still a very long way from maybe eventually having to face that fact).

(One thing I didn't expect to get from the book, and I don't think it was the author's intention, were some uncomfortable thoughts about just how differently people's brains can be wired: I kept bumping, especially at the beginning, into implied and sometimes explicit declarations by the author that some conclusion or another possesses an almost alien quality that defies normal sensibilities, and thinking to myself "But, that's like... the most natural/comfortable/intuitive thought in the world. Do other people really struggle to see that? Why can I see it so clearly? What's different about me? Was I dropped on my head as a baby?", etc.) :-\

---

You're a programmer, right? One piece of advice that I can offer you is to not sleep on the wisdom of the old guard. There's a treasure trove of information hiding in plain sight if you can avoid the trap of thinking that the out-of-date stuff is less valuable than the shiny new stuff. In fact, it's almost become something of a coping mechanism with me. When the modern world gets a little too stupid for me to handle, I tend to retreat into old programming books (stuff like Leo Brodie's Thinking Forth (https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Forth-Leo-Brodie/dp/0976458705)). I'm not sure why looking back is so effective at lifting my spirits, but, probably it has something to do with my weird childhood (as in, by the time I was 13 I'd already been "programming" for ~5 years, and had blown past Logo, BASIC, Pascal, and C, and spent my afternoons ignoring my homework and instead figuring out (S)VGA and Sound Blaster programming in x86 assembly and working on little "demos"). Beyond my own nostalgia, there's just something really special about programming-related stuff and computer/gaming magazines from the old days. I don't think I can articulate exactly what it is, but, I just know the people from that era so well, how impressively capable they were, how pure their motivations tended to be, and what made them tick, so digesting their thoughts is always really pleasant for me.

Anyway, that little trip down memory lane probably doesn't help you much, but, yeah, in general I get a lot more from older books than newer ones. There's kind of just this narrow band in time that I keep picking from: ~1970 to ~2000. (Ha! I just realized that's the same time window that I tend to enjoy music from, too; probably it's normal to prefer things from one decade before and one decade after the one you were born in.) While I do enjoy reading programming books/manuals from before 1970 (like the first two volumes of Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming, though, that's not exactly light reading), much past that point they start to become a chore because I can't always relate to what they cover. Much after 2000, it starts to become "slim pickings" (for me, anyway), too. There's something about "modern" programmers and their way of thinking/problem-solving that just doesn't sit well with me. It's like... they don't actually know how to program all that well, and they spend their energy on things adjacent to their task, like build systems, and dependency management, and trying to stick to half-understood/unchallenged "best practices" and whatnot. The old-generation vs. new-generation issue reminds me of that kid at school with holes in his sneakers and a hand-me-down tennis racket soundly beating and making a mockery of the kids with all the "latest" equipment but only half the skill.

I'm not sure what's behind this generational skill-reversal, but I think it has something to do with the field having become much less selective over time: the further and further you go back, the harder and harder it was to nurture (and maintain) someone's interest in programming. There was this kind of natural "hump" that very few people could get over without being either exceptionally well-suited to the task, or extremely interested and tenacious enough to pursue that interest largely on their own. So, the concentration of "talent" gets higher and higher as you follow the field towards its inception. Conversely, as you follow the field in the other direction, things get much more onramp-rich and inclusive, which sounds like a good thing, but in practice what that amounts to is a much more dilute mixture of talent making its way into industry and academia and then establishing a correspondingly poorer set of principles/practices/ideas that impair the next wave of programmers further still (I mean, there are still luminaries, as always, except that now, outnumbered practically to the point of irrelevance, instead of establishing the current, they're swimming against it, and typically saying difficult-to-appreciate things that everyone else would rather ignore, especially when those things disagree with the prevailing wisdom).

(Sometimes it feels like we're already near to this outcome, but, if each new wave of programmers is, on the average, less skillful than the last, then software quality will keep declining, and eventually what's going to happen is that, excluding a few artifacts that were mostly built/designed by programmers from another time, our digital infrastructure will get locked into a state of always only ever barely working, with never-ending maintenance on components that keep collapsing under the weight of their own amplified/artificial/mishandled complexity.)

Sorry for the long aside... I'm turning into one rambly, grumpy bastard as I get older. :D

Long story short: I recommend picking some interest (like programming) and finding out when the "best" material for it was being produced, and then back-reading from that era (if it's an old subject, with no recent paradigm-shifting breakthroughs, then probably its halcyon days are well behind it).

I can't pinpoint the primary factor that explains this phenomenon. But, as clichéd as it might sound here, I'd blame fiat currency. Ultimately, it comes down to people's time preferences, with fiat being the root cause of our tendency to sacrifice future prosperity for present satisfaction. (There's a great podcast that connects the dots on why this happens in here (https://youtu.be/gp4U5aH_T6A?t=5283)--highly recommended if you have the time.)

It can't just be nostalgia, as I'm much younger than you and still feel the same way. Whether it's old books, movies, documentaries, music, or even webpages, there's something about the old that simply feels like it has more substance, as if the new is flooded with noise but lacking essence. I believe this shift relates to changing time preferences: the more we prioritize the present over the future, the more rushed and superficial everything becomes. Take housing, for example. Modern houses are flimsy and often don't last two decades, while many homes built in the early 20th century are still standing today. It's the same with food--many people prefer fast food over nutritious options, favoring immediate taste over long-term health consequences. Even the desire to have a family has declined. It's no coincidence; having children is one of the most future-focused decisions a person can make, involving sacrifices now to ensure care in old age. The same patterns appear in human relationships.

So, it stands to reason that this applies to engineering and, by extension, to software development as well.

There are definitely more factors to consider now. Since it often makes less economic sense to specialize deeply in just one area, many people aim to gain a little knowledge about everything and see where it can be applied. I'd be lying if I said I've never programmed with some level of uncertainty or doubt about what I'm doing. I've used tools without fully understanding how they work. But wasn't this common in the past as well? The old saying goes, "If it works, don't touch it, don't ask why."

I enjoyed reading this book anything I am not busy.
Title of the book is "The Undocumented Americans"  (https://www.latinxproject.nyu.edu/intervenxions/book-review-emthe-undocumented-americansem-by-karla-cornejo-villavicencio) written by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio. You will find the review of the book on the link.

The Rights of Man by Thomas Paine.

The communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

Perhaps in this current society filled with chaos on politics, economic etc I found this book by Johnson Spencer - The Present.
https://i.ibb.co/xF3H3fN/images-2.jpg

It's probably not about politics but it's a real life experience on society that one should read and would forever know the worth of the present life we live in, maybe you can begin to value everything more than before including Bitcoin.

I also want to read some books on politics that the Government has banned, books like Animal Farm, The Soft Target etc I believe there is more to this book that can break the secret of centralisation. If you ever find any of this two books or other banned politics books kiny share with me your thoughts on it because I'm too curious to know why some centralised power wouldn't wan t people to read a book about them.

Edit: I would also have you read this book -- Read People like a Book by Patrick King.
It's about the psychology of mind and thinking, it could also help you on your choice when you read people and you might figure out how it could help you generally.

I love reading this book, it has so far changed my perspective of how I reason and see things. We are the ones limiting our abilities, and trust me this book will really change the way you reason especially when you bring them into reality.

I think you should go for rich dad poor dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki, this book expands your mind to the possibilities and necessities of financial freedom and ideas or guidelines on how to achieve financial independence...if you have capital and probably confused on starting up a business then this book is for you.

https://i.ibb.co/x2Nr3p5/Screenshot-20241112-172511.jpg

If you have not read "The Mafia Manager: A Guide to the Corporate Machiavelli, by V. " I will suggest you read it. It's a nice book which covers business & economics.

https://i.postimg.cc/j2xNL0YZ/Screenshot-2024-11-12-22-46-48-60-99c04817c0de5652397fc8b56c3b3817-2.jpg (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25698.An_Inquiry_into_the_Nature_and_Causes_of_the_Wealth_of_Nations)

This book first published in 1976, this book provides an important account of the foundations of economic thought and the rise and principles of modern capitalism.

I will recommend three good books for you, they are very interesting and entertaining.

1.To Die For by David Baldacci

2. Things fall apart by Chinua Achebe

3. In Dependence by Sarah Ladipo Mayika

Here's a list of my favorite books

-The 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen covey.
-the power of now by EckHart Tolle.
-the lean startup by Eric Ries.
-Zero To One by Peter thiel.
-The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz.
-The Little Book Of Common Sense Investing by John C Bogle.
-thinking fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman.
-The psychology of money by Morgan Housel.


In all the books I have read so far, the only one I will never get tired of reading over and over again is "RICH DAD, POOR DAD" by Robert kiyosaki. Man emphasised the importance of financial literacy, in that book I got to know that the rich does not work for money but money works for them instead.

The server is bad if not I would have uploaded the photo. But the book I would have like to drop are

1. the richest man in Babylon  
2. Power of mental decipline.
3. The psychology of Money
4. Voice of knowledge

And of course one of the most classic:

https://picr.eu/images/2024/11/12/dbma6.png (https://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/0671027034)

This book is a must read for everyone. The title is by no means negatively connoted when it mentions "influence". It's all about behavioral traits and tweaks and how to get the best out of yourself for others, and out of others for yourself. Very insightful book.

WELL, I have read way too many books in my lifetime, but i still can't put my finger on which one you should read, so i'm going to write down 3 randoms from what i can remember.

PSYCHOLOGY:
The Psychopath Test: A Journey through the Madness Industry – Jon Ronson
Phantoms in the Brain
The Language Instinct

POLITICS:
1984 By George Orwell (probably my favorite)
Fahrenheit 451
A Clockwork Orange

PHILOSOPHY:
The Best Of Socrates
The Best things in life
Nicomachean Ethics (aristotle)
Extra: The Art of War by sun tzu, this is way too known and it literally became a meme, but still a good read.

ECONOMICS:
Rich Dad Poor Dad (i'm joking, i Believe Robert Kiyosaki is a hack)
The Wealth of Nations Adam Smith 1776
The Road to Serfdom Frederich Hayek
The Black Swan (Not to be confused with the movie and novel) By Nassim Nicholas Taleb (American Lebanese dude, probably one of my favorite half lebanese Celebs after Keanu Reeves)


EXTRA

These are highly unethical books to read, mostly are works of fiction but i believe they draw the Fantasies of Women, I'm Lucky with them cause i know what they all want *Wink Wink*

these are referred to being "BookTok Books" or "dark Romance" mostly.

Verity Coleen hoover
Haunting Adeline (this literally contains r*pe)
Twisted Series
Beautiful Graves
Hooked
The Devil Wears black
There Are No saints
Take Me With You
Shantel Tessier Works
Born, Darkly Trisha Wolfe

2. The 5 AM Club" by Robin Sharma
3. Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less" by Greg McKeown

Why don't you jump on this philosophical piece by George Berkeley. Titled A treatise concerning the principles of human knowledge,
Learn and get insights and expound on the idea of subjective materialism.

Secret of the millionaire mind

By Harv Eker

I'll give you two suggestions on each that I love, I don't like reading books on Bitcoin anymore since most of them don't know what they're saying and only repeating what others have said.

Politics:
https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/57/89/FfiFUdKB_t.jpg (https://imgbox.com/FfiFUdKB) https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/a8/97/jBbw9QGT_t.jpg (https://imgbox.com/jBbw9QGT)

Since a lot of books have already been suggested, I will just add one which I have not seen here.

The art of thinking clearly whose author is Rolf Dobelli

Books of Psychology

Thinking, Fast and Slow (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking,_Fast_and_Slow)

Man's Search for Meaning (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man%27s_Search_for_Meaning)

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success (https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Psychology-Carol-S-Dweck-ebook/dp/B000FCKPHG)

The Power of Habit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_Habit)

You can try out any of these three and thank me later;

* "A Theory of Justice"  by John Rawls
* "The happiness hypothesis: finding modern truth in ancient wisdom"  by Jonathan Haidt
*"UPSTREAM: how to solve problems before they happen" by Dan Heath

I have read a lot of books but these are my favourites
 

Money Machines - Electronic Financial Technologies, Distancing and Responsibility in Global Finance (Mark Coeckelbergh) (https://www.amazon.com/Money-Machines-Mark-Coeckelbergh/dp/0367599260)

This is a book that not very many people know I think. But it impressively describes how new technologies in finance contribute to more ruthlessness in society. You could compare it to drone wars and how drone operators due to less contact with their targets also feels less empathy with them. Coeckelbergh does a very good job at describing and explaining how financial technologies through distancing strip away the empathic interpersonal aspect of transactions. He does touch upon electronic currencies, but it is not a Bitcoin book. Since it still encompasses this aspect, I found it very interesting.

I would like you to go through this little selection of mine:-
The wealth of a nation by Adam smith
The richest man in babylon by George s. Clason

1. think and grow rich
2. power of focus
3.think like a billionaire and become a billionaire

What is the point of this? There is none.

I recommended these books;

The Wealth of Nations

So members should stop encouraging him about new books.

Read
1. 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene
2. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
3. Finding modern truth in Ancient wisdom by Jonathan Haidt.

1) My only son, is an interesting book that impact people.

2) Don't forget your home, is another interesting book that make people to always remember home no matter the condition they find themselves.

3) How to make money, is an interesting book that help people to build themselves financially in the society.

Trading In The Zone by Mark Douglas.

It is a great book about the psychology of trading and preparing ones mind to trade for a living. The principles taught in the book can be applied to any type of commodity trading.

In "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig, Nora Seed finds herself in a peculiar predicament. Standing on the precipice of death, she encounters a mysterious library where each book on the shelves represents a different life she could have lived.

Nora, grappling with regret and disillusionment, embarks on a journey through these alternate realities. She explores lives where she pursued her passion for glaciology, became a rock star, and even chose a different path in love. Through these experiences, she confronts the joys and heartbreaks of each choice, witnessing the ripple effects of even the smallest decisions.

As Nora delves deeper into the library, she begins to understand the profound impact of her choices on her own life and the lives of those around her. She grapples with the question of whether any of these alternate lives are truly better than the one she left behind, and whether the pursuit of happiness lies in achieving grand ambitions or finding contentment in the present moment.

The Midnight Library is a poignant exploration of life, death, and the enduring power of human connection. It reminds us that every choice, no matter how insignificant it may seem, shapes the course of our lives and that true fulfillment may lie not in achieving perfection, but in embracing the imperfections and appreciating the beauty of the journey.

Would you like to hear about another book?

I am not a reader, not even close! But there is 1 book I actually read more than 1 time, out of my own free will.  ;D

That book is "Kitchen" by Banana Yoshimoto. I also read some other books from her but this one really stuck. It's also not a long story so it's an easy and fast read! Can only recommend!

I don't know is someone suggested this book name or not, i read 3 books regularly and those books is my favourite listed

1.HOW TO TALK TO ANYONE
Author - Leil Lowndes

2. ZERO TO ONE
Author - Peter Thiel

3. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Author - Stephen Covey

Try to read some books of Freida McFadden, my favorite is "The Housemaid" and the book "IKIGAI" by Francesc Miralles and Hector Garcia, it helps to calm my mind and relieves stress.

Buy what you like, it depends on your interests. :)

Great list!
The Richest Man in Babylon is a timeless classic, and Attitude is Everything really hits home about mindset.
Thanks for sharing


It’s funny how trading and residency applications feel similar in one way you can study all the theory, but when you’re actually in it, emotions and strategy matter just as much. With trading, you’ve got to keep cool under pressure, and with applications, you need to make sure your story and qualifications don’t get lost in the noise. When I was working on mine, I ended up using a residency personal statement editing service check my site (https://www.masterpapers.com/) , and honestly it made a world of difference. They helped me cut out the fluff and keep the focus sharp, which felt a bit like applying risk management to writing. In the end, it gave me confidence that my application stood out the right way.

I would suggest you
