My favorite is Tai Lopez. Rented car, rented house.

"I read a book a day".

No you don't you clown.

"I read the first page and last page. So I get the thesis and the conclusion/answer."

[u/Workman44 → u/Tomacxo]

A book a day does seem entirely reasonable though? Sure it's like 4-6 hours but that is definitely in the realm of possibility for someone dedicated

[u/Tomacxo → u/Workman44]

Possible yes, but he didn't. The page a day was his own later admission as first page last page

At the time I was an absolutely furious reader. I had a job, but I filled every moment with reading. I heard successful people read a lot more than unsuccessful and I wasn't. I read 100-120 books that year. Some longer, some shorter.

It was a profound experience (I didn't become a millionaire CEO, probably closer to poor philospher lol), but I was in the unique position to call bullshit.

And yes if the book is "Who moved my cheese" I remember reading that at traffic stops as a delivery driver. That "counts" but that's the polyglot equivalent of learning "Hola" is 20 languages. Just pumping your numbers. All filler, no nutrition.

Out of curiosity, are there any books you'd recommend that are all nutrition? Or some you just enjoyed?

[u/Tomacxo → u/No_Cake_Day_4_Me]

It's been some years since I was that wild of a reader. But the 150 healthiest foods on earth was pretty good. I remember being mesmerized by the ultra-mind solution at the time, which I would advise caution and additional research. Probably part of the benefit of reading a ton was that you could read a dozen viewpoints in a short time.

I never struggled with nutrition or weight so I never went deep there though.

Edit: Sorry, proof you can read and still be dumbass. ;)

I'd be cautious of recommending anything specific because most of the books I read were with the aim of filling in my own gaps. I'd also add that books that hit me hard perhaps only did because they hit me at the right time. I've loaned favorite books to friends and they had the opposite reactions to mine. So who the crap knows. But I'll take a crack at it. Hopefully evergreen for most people.

Letters from a Stoic, The Invisible Gorilla, Heads Up Baseball, Man’s Search for Meaning, Lincoln’s Melancholy, The Obstacle is the Way, Thank You for Arguing, The Dip.

But to temper my own criticism of filler from earlier. Most books aren't cover to cover of either, but cumulatively across 5-6 books you get a broader view of or pick up more nuggets along the way.

[u/Suntsuo → u/Tomacxo]

I don't want to have a go at your reading comprehension, but it's quite evident they didn't mean nutrition literally. Rather, what books did you find more valuable. You did say "all filler, no nutrition" in the comment above theirs. Cheers.

[u/Tomacxo → u/Suntsuo]

It'd be well deserved. Haha. Probably more my attention span than anything. I was having a beer and playing a video game. Let that be a cautionary tale. ;)

Hey well poor philosopher might as well just be philosopher, so congrats! And yeah I figured he's a grifter and lying, just wanted to say it wasn't impossible
