      Going to keep only the Art of War, How to Make Friends and Influence People, and Infinite Jest on my bookshelf. The success-win depressed graduate student mindset.

      Yeah all my coworkers recommend it and say it's useful for business stuff

      Did Joe Rogan tell people to read it? It's literally a book of 5th century BC military tactics. The only universal advice it gives is that you should probably make plans before doing something.

          It’s just another book in a long list of books that should not be read as self help

          unless you are a warlord in which case art of war is self help

        I think it's always been the dumb guy's idea of what smart successful people read.
