The Mind Behind the Headlines: Luigi Mangione's Reading List

I believe this book will go down in history as one of the most important philosophical texts of the early 21st century

I found "The 4-Hour Work Week" to be an incredibly worthwhile read. It offers lots of useful advice on how to live and work, although it does have its flaws. For example, much of the content is fluff, and the backstory of the author's BrainQUICKEN supplement company may not be particularly appealing.

Regardless of these shortcomings, the book is full of wisdom. It challenges readers to question conventional wisdom, evaluate their true priorities and determine whether their current trajectory aligns with their goals.

Goggins is extreme (and clearly unhappy), but in science we learn from the outliers.

Good fuel to kickstart your system out of a rut, if you need it. Eventual balance must be achieved though after the initial crisis has been handled.

This little book packs a punch.

"A gramme is always better than a damn"

"I'd rather be myself," he said. "Myself and nasty. Not somebody else, however jolly."

"But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin."

"Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand."

Never thought I'd feel compelled to review a travel guidebook, but this book is fantastic. Honest reviews. Hilarious author. Full of hidden gems.

Cleanest, most intuitive breakdown of algorithmic thinking I've encountered. Should be mandatory reading for any mathematician or computer scientist

The introduction to weightlifting. Fantastic, clear content. -1 star: too infomercial, too aesthetics-focused

Rather than showing us his life, Steve-O mostly tells us his reflections on events and preaches the lessons we should learn from them. The stories lack dialogue and specific moments, making them generally unengaging. Which is a shame, because Steve-O has lived a wild life full of unique experiences.

Overall, I'm not sure I really learned anything. The lessons were all pretty generic and would've carried more weight with better storytelling.

Clearly written by a mathematics prodigy. Reads like a series of lemmas on the question of 21st century quality of life. It's easy to quickly and thoughtless write this off as the manifesto of a lunatic, in order to avoid facing some of the uncomfortable problems it identifies. But it's simply impossible to ignore how prescient many of his predictions about modern society turned out.
