this is great, thank you! been wanting to add some more non·fic to my collection and this will add some new topics. I tend to steer towards political and cultural focused books but also love philosophy and science. I'll be adding all these books though to my Master TBR because my goal is to have a well-rounded library.

Are there other options you recommend in the theory of ethics and applied ethics categories? I would appreciate options that are available on Kindle as I live outside USA and want to avoid shipping costs.

@stephenpetro411 3 месяца назад

Great questions! Off the top of my head, I can't think of additional titles, but anything that is a broad overview that includes topics such as utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics should be great! Also, for applied ethics, you can even be more specific to the topic. Look for things in your area of interest: i.e. "business ethics," "medical ethics," etc.

"Day trading attention" has not been released yet. How were you able to read it?

@stephenpetro411 3 месяца назад

For this particular book, I have read pretty much everything out there that's publicly available about its structure and content focus - that, coupled with the fact that literally every other book by Gary V has been incredibly valuable, I can safely say I recommend this even before it's been released. I'll be one of the first to read it in full once it's released!

@fernandopaiz3696 3 месяца назад

This list is amazing thank you!! Adding to my list 👏 PS: I noticed the “Captivate” book by VVE in your background that book was incredible for my person to person social skills! Her follow up books “Cues” was even better!

@stephenpetro411 3 месяца назад

@troecurov3 3 месяца назад

Hi Fernando, should I start from the first one , or jump to the second book?

@fernandopaiz3696 3 месяца назад

@@troecurov3 hi. I would strongly recommend reading both because they each hold value on their own. “Captivate” is great for overall social skills and reading/understanding physical nonverbal communication where “Cues” builds on that foundation and takes it a step further with how to build confidence and project charismatic communication with nonverbal cues (oversimplification but that’s it in a nutshell)

@johnnyplunkett8532 3 месяца назад

Well.that was heavy. Compared to the usual RU-vid guys. How long did it take you to master those 15 books?

@stephenpetro411 3 месяца назад

Mastery is fairly relative, so it's hard to answer that question. However, I would say I have a good working knowledge of certain of these fields and an extreme deep-level understanding of others (i.e., ethical theory, psychology, neuroscience).

@mccflo99 3 месяца назад

Day Trading Attention hasn't been released yet, so how is it "one of the best?"

@stephenpetro411 3 месяца назад

Fair point! However, I've listed it here because I've reviewed everything I can get my hands on so far about its contents, and having read every one of Gary V's other books, I can safely say this is going to be a GREAT starting point for anyone who's either starting out in social media marketing or looking to improve their game here.

@8v01d 3 месяца назад

I disagree on the cuts. For the video editor, keep doing what you do. Your editing skills show me how the editor brain works. The cuts kept me engaged because the visuals kept changing. Therefore, it kept my attention. Hence, the content of the video is what kept me here though. My favourite part was when he talks about not having social skills. Couldn't agree more as I relate! 😂
