The Managerial Revolution
There are few books that have had such a large influence on my life. The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham is one of the few that have changed my life's trajectory entirely. It is a fascinating, insightful, and contemporaneous look at the conflict between Fascism, Communism, and the New Deal.

Extremely Bad
Have you ever been asked, “What’s the worst book you’ve read?” I am often asked this when people find out my passion for literature. I always answer the same: Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink. This book is exhaustingly unreadable. I stopped after the second chapter. I want my time back.

Trapped Souls.
What is the SOUL? How is it defined? How is it trapped? From a multidimensional standpoint: The soul is ageless because all time is simultaneous, and in addition, the soul originates from outside of time as we know it. The soul split up in different fragments of the soul entity.
