    What Hacker News says

      I really enjoyed The Almanack of Naval Ravikant

      It has a good condensed summary of practical philosophy as well as a great list of books to check out for further ideas.

      Being short on time, the summary was very helpful.

      The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday was a short high level description of some aspects of Stoic Philosophy. It opens the door to some of the classics.

      The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle made me think a lot about being present, that the mind is apart from the consciousness.

      Redirect by Timothy Wilson - I like that it is experimental based and debunks a lot of other stuff out there that has no basis for truth.

      The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti - reading this now, I really like the daily meditation format. It gives you something to think about.
