What are some good books for learning about functional psychology?
I want to expand my mind how I act and how other people view me. What some may refer to as an 'alpha', not the beastly, testosteron surging kind of alpha. The kind that just obtains peoples attention by abusing body language, way of speech for an example.

I'd start with some right-wing stuff for sure. It's obvious today how the minds of people have been destroyed by leftism

I agree, neutralizing social aspects and suppressing succes is certainly not my cup of tea.
Why would someone make a sharp knife dull, just because the knife next to it is?

What are some books that you were hyped for one reason, but you ended loving for a completely different reason?
Pic semi-related, Starship Troopers. Saw and loved the movies way before thinking of buying the book, but in the end the part about politics was probably the one I loved most. I was also disappointed that the book didn't have as much action as the movies, but they were still good.

So why did you end up loving it?
As for my contribution to this thread; https://vault.fbi.gov/nikola-tesla
I was hyped because of my nerdiness. Ended up loving it thanks to my tinfoil.
(articles are /lit/, this is pretty /his/, /x/, and /pol/ too).

First I was hyped to see how stupid the "conspiracy" was that all the "evil Nazis" believe, and shit on it with my redditor friends.
But I quickly realized that everything he says is true and was hyped to see the truth that only a few people are able to see through

>listened to the Joe Rogan Jordan Peterson podcast twice
This guy spins a great story.
I think the main error people make is constantly trying to create grand theories or narratives to try and refute other theories or white describing other trends. JP makes this mistake. But ultimately you can look at any of the individual narrow points of leftists and see they are bullshit easily (pay gap, affirmative action, critical theory points). They'll just ignore you. And if you try to refute everything at once, you unavoidably say something fallacious
So I agree with JP's overall sentiment but this overly academic theory toppling can never work logically, even if it's what emotionally stirs the pleb masses or journalists and academics

What do you do when a book in a series that you love hasn't been translated to english or your own language and never will be?
Pic related: this motherfucker is the third book in a five book series, and can only be found in french ( original ) and russian. How much does it cost to pay someone to translate it?
Also, Bernard Werber general I guess. Has anyone of you read him /lit/? He's a little bullshitty but I loved the Ants trilogy as well.

I don't skip them. I have retard patience.
I would say that they're important in establishing the theme of destiny, history, lineage, familial right, and being Chosen in general.

>>9895055
Granted. However, it's not often you'll know who the important guys are on a first read (maybe less in the Bible, but in general too)

The Old Testament is the cultural memory of the tribe if Israel. It was never meant for 21st century Gentiles, so don't expect every part to be relevant or interesting.

>Phlegmy coughs shook the air of the bookshop, bulging out the dingy curtains. The shopman's uncombed grey head came out and his unshaven reddened face, coughing. He raked his throat rudely, spat phlegm on the floor. He put his boot on what he had spat, wiping his sole along it and bent, showing a rawskinned crown, scantily haired.
>Mr Bloom beheld it.
>Mastering his troubled breath, he said:

>The shopman lifted eyes bleared with old rheum.

>one retains information learnt from a physical book better than from an ereader
Does this mean we retain definitions from a physical dictionary better than from an online one?

Yes, because you have to stand up, open the books, look for it constantly respeaking it usualy, till you find it. The more of a hassle it is, the easier it will stick.
