The books Eric Jorgenson references, cites, and recommends most frequently.
by Peter Thiel
Thiel argues that true innovation means creating something entirely new, not copying what exists. Competition is for losers, monopoly through unique value is how lasting companies are built.
by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Taleb argues that some systems don't just resist shocks - they actually grow stronger from disorder. The goal isn't resilience or robustness but antifragility: designing your life and institutions to benefit from volatility.
by Marcus Aurelius
Aurelius wrote these private meditations as reminders to himself - on duty, impermanence, and rational self-governance. The result is Stoicism at its most intimate: a Roman emperor's nightly practice of keeping perspective.
by Viktor Frankl
Frankl survived Auschwitz and concluded that meaning, not pleasure or power, sustains us through suffering. His logotherapy argues we can find purpose in any circumstance.
by Yuval Noah Harari
Harari traces how Homo sapiens conquered the planet not through physical strength but through shared fictions, money, religion, nations. These collective myths let strangers cooperate at scales no other species can match.
by Richard Dawkins
Dawkins reframes evolution from the organism's perspective to the gene's. Bodies are survival machines built by genes competing to replicate - a view that transformed modern biology.
