Michael Cernovich is an American right-wing social media personality and political commentator. Though he initially called himself alt-right, he dissociated from the movement after Richard Spencer became its public face. Cernovich describes himself as part of the new right and some have described him as part of the alt-lite. Appearing on The Tucker Carlson Show, Cernovich recommended Tom O'Neill's Chaos, discussing its detailed coverage of government mind control experiments and the Charles Manson murders. He also discussed Paulo Coelho's Hippie and The Alchemist, noting his appreciation for authors whose work stands independently of their public personas. Among other titles, Cernovich mentioned Edward Gibbon's multi-volume classic The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire to describe his early attempts to understand historical collapse, Jonathan Haidt's The Happiness Hypothesis in relation to the meaning crisis, Seraphim Rose's The Soul After Death concerning Orthodox Christian views on the afterlife, and Don Miguel Ruiz's The Four Agreements.
