Buy on Amazon"Yeah, I mean, I do applaud some of these like, you know, what I really liked is the, you know, sadly the late Tony Hsieh who ran Zappos, he really tried this holocracy approach inside of his company where it was like a level playing field for everyone like really pushing the boundaries, he had a great book called Delivering Happiness—I mean, do you remember that book?"
Ego Is the Enemy
Buy on Amazon"I remember, 'Ego is the Enemy' was a huge one for me, and there were a few others like the Minimalist and some others were—I got into them, and I was like, 'Okay, there's a different way to live life here.'"
A Farewell to Arms

Animal Liberation
Buy on Amazon"He's like the inventor of effective altruism; he wrote like Animal Liberation. Now, so he's like one of the first animal rights people, and then he came up with this idea, partly based on the Stoics, which he came up with his metaphor."
