These kinds of lists always make me laugh, because it takes a very specific world view and experience and assumes all must be like that. Atomic Habit I do agree partially on, but you know two books that have recently changed my life? Certainly not on the list here.

4,000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman and The Little Book of Listening by Donna Duffey et. Al.

As someone who feels outside the domimate traits of society, Sensitive: The Hidden Power and The Power of Quiet are also books that changed my life in that I am embracing my own traits and talents, rather than struggle to adopt those more commonly sought after.

The Innovator’s Dilemma

Rich Dad Poor Dad

Wow, this is life-changing, I knew it was poor people’s fault for being poor!

The Coddling of the American Mind

This new generation is turning into got-dang snowflakes!

I saw a book in the thumbnail that I already own and was looking forward to reading, so I opened the article. At first I was thrown back by some of the shitty books on this list and a little bothered that the book I have would be clumped in with them - then I noticed that it actually went on the list. I’m a little relieved lol. Fwiw, it’s Behave by Robert Sapolsky.

Anything, or anyone, that speaks positively of ‘Coddling of the American Mind’ should be approached with extreme scepticism.

An interesting resource for people looking to combat shit like this is the podcast ‘If Books Could Kill’.

I don’t nessecirily always agree with the hosts’ wider takes on things, but their reading of these types of books is pretty spot on.

20% of these look mildly interesting 20% I’m familiar with the point they appear to try to make, but am not at all interested in the book 60% are cringe, I second ‘if books could kill.’
