    Hi everyone. I come to you with my most ambitious list of books yet.
    How so you might ask? Because this is the condensed version, as short as I could manage without excluding the essential works.

    Description: A condensed list of thoroughly vetted critically-acclaimed books that convey essential real-world knowledge to sort out ourselves, and the world.

    Aim: To transfer practical, intelligent, hard-to-find real-world knowledge and lived experience of highly learned people from nearly every practical domain, from all over the globe. To educate the masses.

    • What we think, believe, say, and do matters.
    • To wield the real-world knowledge of our predecessors is our birthright.
    • To figure ourselves out carries weight, and it is a responsibility that we owe to ourselves, each other, and the world.

    Attached:

    Thank you for you attention. Now the floor is yours.

    As usual your positive and/or critical input is always welcome :D.

    Hey everyone, I'm back with a significantly updated catalogue with new structure and some additions ;) 
    https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTDWt6DuSrAkEQf32smo_np_7oJVVvyqXsDR2hL6Wv3OXMVTaKxK9MKhtredKxusoj7L03WsBVyhQ_c/pub

    @okulele thanks!

    @happyhappy appreciate it :)

    @Vido Off the top of my head these are definitely relevant to you:
    2020 - Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor
    1993 - Path Notes of an American Ninja Master by Glenn Morris
    2019 - Principles for a Stronger Body and Mind by Aaron Alexander

    The order of importance depends on your interests. I'm sure there's more in my list for you in addition to these 3.  

    @UnbornTao you have good taste ;) 

    @Matt23 100% agree

    @hyruga Perhaps the now updated catalogue makes it easier to find what you're looking for. I don't have much on spirituality, faith, religion in particular which is why this section is not present, but, there are a lot of works which deal with these themes, some of which do it in-depth.
    You might be interested in:

    1890 - The Golden Bough by James George Frazer
    1894 - Intuitive Thinking As a Spiritual Path by Rudolf Steiner
    1976 - The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes
    1986 - Inner Work: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Personal Growth by Robert Johnson
    1993 - Food of the Gods: Tree, Plants, Drugs, and Human Evolution by Terence Mckenna
    1994 - Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives by Michael Newton
    1995 - The Dark Side of Christian History by Helen Ellerbe
    2000 - DMT: The Spirit Molecule (A Doctor's Research) by Rick Strassman
    2000 - Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation and Political Control by E. Michael Jones
    2006 - Transcending the Levels of Consciousness: The Stairway to Enlightenment by David Hawkins
    2012 - The Reality of Extrasensory Perception: A Physicist’s Proof of Psychic Abilities by Russel Targ
    2020 - Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents by Rod Dreher

    To name a 'few' :)

    Hey everybody.

    I’ve joined very recently and as a first contribution I’m sharing this book list that that’s been in the works for 2 years and counting. 

    I’ve organised it into sections, covering topics that are central (in my opinion) to self-actualisation in a world that misleads us at every turn. I list a wide variety of critical books on topics as different as Health, Accomplishment, Evolutionary Psych, Contentious History, etc.. 

    *Full Table of Contents attached in image format*

    Alas, here’s my full list made available using google docs publish feature:

    https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTDWt6DuSrAkEQf32smo_np_7oJVVvyqXsDR2hL6Wv3OXMVTaKxK9MKhtredKxusoj7L03WsBVyhQ_c/pub

    Anything familiar? Anything you’re happy / unhappy to see featured? Anything you’re surprised to see? Any proposed additions?

    All is welcome.

    NB: I have not read all these books, more like 20%, but rest assured each has been vetted / researched at the best of my ability.
