   The Myth of Sisyphus By Albert Camus. A great philosophy book, not that hard to read, about the absurdity of life. Camus talks about suicide in this context, and why life still has meaning despite its absurdity. The Art of Not Giving A Fuck by Mark Manson. As the title implies, it talks about caring less about what other think (while not being a narcissist). And how it can make you more happy and more likeable.

   Recently read “The Art of not Giving a Fuck”, which might be a good book for people relating to the feelings that the author expresses.

   So far in 2024 I’ve finished a dissertation(?) of Schopenhauer work which is in italian and doesn’t exist in English, the name can be translated like “The art of not giving a fuck about other’s judgement”, then animal farm and another italian book “Leonardo Sciascia - Una storia semplice”, then in the same area of “recreational” reading I’ve started “Thinking fast and slow”, and in terms of books needed professionally I’m reading “Math for programmers”

   The 4 Agreements， although it's lessons are often repeated.

   No one cares about how you live your life. Do your thing. Don't take anything personally. The good or the bad.

   The Art of Not Giving a Fuck says some of the same thing, unfortunately it comes out of the mouth of a born rich kid who never held a real job. He gets upset in his own book about not everyone loving his "advice".

   This stuff goes back to Earl Nightingale. If your spending all day worried about what other people think of you, imagining some judgement that doesn't actually exist, you'll accomplish nothing.

   We become what we think about. If you spend your free time learning useful skills versus gossiping about people you don't even know, your life is going to be much better.

   The Power of Now has an interesting twist on this concept. Well worth the 15$ I spent on the audio book.
