Every week, I send out my newsletter to 92,000+ readers and recommend three books. Here are my last three book recommendations: 1. Niccolo's Smile: A Biography of Machiavelli by Maurizio Viroli amzn.to/47d60gG 2. The Keys of Egypt: The Race to Crack the Hieroglyph Code by Lesley & Roy Adkins amzn.to/48nJ4xi 3. Through A Window: My Thirty Years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe by Jane Goodall amzn.to/3WwUxDw

You build fans by sending sharp notes not noise so pick three books that expand your edge then hit inbox like a scalpel not a blast and watch the few who care become the market that matters..

Machiavelli and deciphering codes – a fascinating combo! If you had to pick one book that truly deciphers human nature, which would it be?

I've never read an full adult book in my whole life and am proud of it! My attention span is that of a toddler's, which I can admit proudly as well, yet I've self-taught how to code, 3D printers, chess 1800 Elo just playing never studying, 3D software, psychologically—which seems to be at a higher tier of understanding than most educated people (not in all areas though I admit)—maths, physics, found new pattern in 3x3 magic square of squares, which inversed is a new emergent pattern, art, poetry, ideas for AI advancement. My 2 year old daughter counted to 10 on walk to local shop yesterday, she's equivalent to a 4 year old at half the age, because I listen and understand her, with 2 way commination and showing I understand her even though she couldn't say the right words allowing me to teach her quickly because I cared to understand! I'll stop there for now, books mean nothing compared to my ability to understanding without any knowledge. Also I probably need grounding now, but all the above is true! and many other smaller things that I kind of find irrelevant.

Some wise words from psychonaut Terence McKenna
“The systems which are in place to keep the world sane are utterly inadequate to the forces that have been unleashed.” Terence McKenna, more relevant now than ever before, think: AI, alien disclosure, and the transparency of the deep state cabal.

Great picks — that’s a solid mix of history, discovery, and human insight. I’ve heard amazing things about the Jane Goodall book especially. Might have to add all three to my reading list! 📚
