The Selfish Gene by Dawkins. Read it in college and it completely changed how I think about evolution and human behavior. Also The Demon-Haunted World by Sagan – its basically a manual for critical thinking and spotting bullshit. Both books still influence how I see things like 15 years later.

*The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich*. Rereading it now. It’s a project at about 1300 pages, but is one of the few books I’d describe as truly important. William Shirer so fucking hated fascism, but was very keen on how it worked.

Red Notice by Bill Browder. It reveals just how corrupt and murderous the Putin regime is.
The Road to Serfdom by F.A. Hayek. Written by one of the founders of the Austrian school of economics, it’s one of the best works on classical liberalism.
Shoe Dog by Phil Knight. A good example of how *you can just do things*. It’s truly amazing what Knight was able to accomplish with pure hustle and guile. I think about it often in my career.

Debt: The First 5,000 Years, Grabber. I’m currently rereading it. it makes me rethink religion, philosophy, human nature, the state, the soul, the body, magic, violence, everything. I recommend it to everyone.

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. I can’t recommend it enough, it changed how I see the world/earth so much.
