Warren Buffett: "This book is something of a publishing miracle—never advertised, yet year after year selling many thousands of copies from its Internet site."

Andrew Wilkinson: "One of my most recommended business books"

Seth Godin: "This book will make you uncomfortable. Depending on what you do all day, it might make you extremely uncomfortable. That's a very good thing, because you deserve it. We all do.

Jason and David have broken all the rules and won. Again and again they've demonstrated that the regular way isn't necessarily the right way. They just don't say it, they do it. And they do it better than just about anyone has any right to expect.

This book is short, fast, sharp and ready to make a difference. It takes no prisoners, spares no quarter, and gives you no place to hide, all at the same time.

There, my review is almost as long as the first chapter of the book. I can't imagine what possible excuse you can dream up for not buying this book for every single person you work with, right now."

Mark Cuban: “If given a choice between investing in someone who has read REWORK or has an MBA, I’m investing in REWORK every time.

Jeff Bezos: “Unperturbed by conventional wisdom, Jason and David start fresh and rewrite the rules of business. Their approach turns out to be as successful as it is counter-intuitive.”

Tim Ferriss: "I encourage people to think of [Rework] as an Elements of Style for building profitable businesses in a web-savvy world.

Each chapter is 2-5 pages long and delivers their tactics and principles fat-free, without fluff. Just like their business models."

Shane Parrish: "A concise book of lessons drawn from the survey of history. The book comes highly recommended by someone I met at the Berkshire Hathaway meeting last weekend.

I can’t believe I haven’t read this before. I’ll be re-reading this a few times and I’ve started listening to the audio version in the car as well."

Naval Ravikant: "Concise and well written, summarizes the long arc of history with poetic insights."

Lyn Alden: "The economics chapter from 'Lessons of History' by Will and Ariel Durant is a good read on [debt cycles]."

Tobi Lutke: "[Love] this book"

Shane Parrish: "As hard as you think your life is, it pales in comparison to Auschwitz.

I took two big things away from this book: (1) the ultimate freedom is the ability to choose your attitude in the face of any circumstance and (2) the more you target success, the more you will miss it."

Tony Robbins: "Man’s Search for Meaning provides compelling examples of humanity’s perseverance through trying situations.

This is another book that I’ve read dozens of times. It taught me that if you change the meaning, you change everything."

Ryan Petersen: "[One of] the best books for business people."

Naval Ravikant shared this book on Twitter.

Tim Ferriss wrote the foreword to 'The Almanack of Naval Ravikant'.

Shane Parrish: "It seems that throughout history we, as a people, forget that sources of trouble that are small can have huge implications.

We forget that leverage makes us fragile. Just when we think we’ve figured out the world and reduced it to an equation based on empirical evidence, it changes and lights a tinderbox."

David Friedberg: "Go read the book 'When Genius Failed', it's a great story."

One of Max Levchin's answers to 'What's your favourite business book you'd advise to young entrepreneurs?'

Raoul Pal recommended 'When Genius Failed' on Twitter.

Instead, you can look around and copy the best of what other people are doing."

Included on Jeff Bezos' list of books that Amazon employees refer to as “Jeff’s Reading List.”

Included on Jamie Dimon's list of favorite books he sent to JP Morgan summer interns in 2010.

Patrick O'Shaughnessy: "I really wish I’d read this at 22 years old--it would have saved me a lot of time and consternation.

To summarize Drucker’s message, 'a person can perform only from strength.'

Push the envelope of your strengths rather than trying to shore up all your weaknesses."

Shane Parrish: "This is an excellent short read."

Charlie Munger recommended 'Living Within Limits' in his book Poor Charlie's Almanack.

Shane Parrish: "Like Charlie Munger or Nassim Taleb, you need to read the source material over and over in order to soak up the available wisdom."

Nassim Taleb: "A wonderful, very very rich book!"

Shane Parrish: "Peter Bevelin is one smart dude. Inspired by Munger, he’s put together a book of the big ideas that carry a lot of weight in life."

Sam Hinkie: "Robert Caro is my favorite writer"

Shane Parrish: "Caro is probably the most talented biographer of our age; he writes like a brilliant novelist and has the reporting skills of Bob Woodward.

The Power Broker is assigned reading at quite a few American universities and it should be. It’s amazing. But it’s not a light read."

Shane Parrish: "This is a great follow up to Sit Like A Buddha.

This book deepens our understanding of the nuts-and-bolts of meditation including the how, what, where, when and why but also how to deal with distractions and common challenges people face along the way."

Vinod Khosla: "Easy access to meditation"

Shane Parrish: "This book will become my new default for people interested in an introduction to the thinking of Charlie Munger.

Shane Parrish: "Highly recommend"

Shane Parrish: "A must read for anyone who wants to turn history’s hindsight into their current foresight."

Shane Parrish: "This is a fascinating look at our own propensity to cheat and rationalize our dishonesty.

Ariely has used a clever series of experiments to expose how context plays a dominant role in how and why we cheat."

Shane Parrish: "The book addresses the most important question of modernity: What is left of our aspirations after science has delivered its verdict about what we are?"

Shane Parrish: "The book is a reflection on simplicity.

More specifically, Thoreau explores what does one gain from immersing himself in nature? Does it enable a deeper understanding of society? A greater sense of self-reflection? Something deeper?"

Shane Parrish: "The book is an excellent look at how we have more control over our energy than we think.

Energy is our engine and there are four primary sources: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual."

Shane Parrish: "A beautiful and thought-provoking book that argues we should stop thinking in terms of work-life balance."

Shane Parrish: "An excellent counterbalance to our diet of movement and stimulation."

Shane Parrish: "By pure luck I came across this book and it introduced me to the thinking of Warren Buffett and his partner Charlie Munger.

These two have influenced my thinking more than any."

Shane Parrish: "Reading [this book], along with Seneca, has really helped foster my interest in philosophy.

So much of what they say speaks to me that I’m often left with entire pages underlined and margins filled with thoughts."

Shane Parrish: "The first book I ever read cover to cover for pleasure... The book, about some of the greatest Canadian bank robbers, opened my eyes to reading."

Shane Parrish: "David Quammen is an excellent scientific writer...

The Reluctant Mr. Darwin is a short biography of Darwin from the period after his voyage on the Beagle up until his writing of The Origin of Species and the competition with Alfred Russel Wallace."

Shane Parrish: "I bought this little book blindly at a small bookstore in Mystic, CT. What a great find.

Anyone interested in science generally would enjoy it."

Well worth picking up and makes the perfect gift for anyone going through something difficult in life."

Shane Parrish recommended 'Lives of the Eminent Philosophers' on Farnam Street.

Shane Parrish: "Analogies are used to frame, persuade, and drive our emotional brain, says John Pollack, the former Presidential speechwriter.

I thought I’d skim this book but I had a hard time putting it down."

Shane Parrish: "An interesting take that creative decay is normal a la revision to the mean.

The author argues that by knowing how and why this happens, countries and organizations can enable more creativity and adaptability."

Shane Parrish: "Richard Nisbett, a world-renowned psychologist, explores how scientific and philosophical concepts change the way we solve problems by helping us think better.

The point of the book is to show us new ways to frame problems that allow us to apply these mental models. Highly recommended."

Shane Parrish: "As someone with zero artistic talent I find that drawing things forces me to reduce and simplify, which is a natural way to help me find out what matters.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Consider this a smart primer on visual thinking."

Shane Parrish: "Inspired by Ambrose Bierce’s masterpiece The Devil’s Dictionary, Jason Zweig takes an equally beautiful and cynical view of the entire finance industry."

Shane Parrish: "In light of hosting several Re/Think events in Chicago, I wanted to read about the history of the Chicago fire.

This was the most referenced book I could find and it did not disappoint. Hint: Mrs. O’Leary’s cow had nothing to do with it."

Shane Parrish: "The book addresses the reasons we work (play, purpose, potential, emotional pressure, economic pressure, and inertia) and presents these in a good narrative.

The framing and stories will resonate with many."

Shane Parrish: "My undergrad was computer science not engineering. I’ve always wanted to learn more about the discipline though, so when I saw this book I had to pick it up.

It’s a great short introduction to some important engineering concepts."

Shane Parrish: "I’m hesitant to admit that I read all of this and yet I did. The book is an inside look at the man running for President.

It’s clear he’s honed his persuasion skills over many years and he’s one of the best. It could get interesting."

Shane Parrish: "Originally published in 1950, the book endeavors to understand the methods by which discoveries have been made and form some general observations."

Shane Parrish: "This book was exceptional and very much along the lines of other business fables such as: The Goal, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, and Death by Meeting."

Shane Parrish: "Where the book excels is the first few chapters where he walks you through some of the nuances and difficulties of determining a path forward through uncertainty."

Shane Parrish: "An interesting history of our relationship with time that tackles some consequences."

Shane Parrish: "A worthwhile chronicle of Thoreau’s formative years that acts as a rich backdrop to deepen our understanding of Walden and Civil Disobedience."

Shane Parrish: "The book is broken down into three parts: Self-Awareness, Social Awareness, and Intuition.

It also indirectly explains why most self-help books fail, how context is important, and asks you to be more introspective."

Shane Parrish: "I have a lot to learn in this [design] space and there is no better place to start than here.

This book is the foundational book that’s used around the world."

Shane Parrish: "A book that offers a practical philosophical underpinning that fosters mental discipline and a spirit of critical self-examination."

Shane Parrish: "The author, Peter Atkins, is one of the world’s leading authorities on thermodynamics. Who better to give me an introduction?"

Shane Parrish: "Way more useful than I would have guessed based on the title."

Shane Parrish: "This book is an invitation to be curious, build character, and make better choices.

Very much in line with the Farnam Street ethos — so much that I’m mentioned in the acknowledgements.

It belongs on your shelf next to Seeking Wisdom."

Shane Parrish: "It’s a bit dense at times and overly technical in parts but the roots of information mathematics and science are worth exploring."

Shane Parrish: "If I could encourage you to look into one thing to think and focus better, this would be it.

This is an enormously powerful little book that will help you focus your mind, open your heart, and think with more insight."

Shane Parrish: "In addition to explaining Wooden’s famous Pyramid of Success, the book is full of personality and keen insights into human nature."

Shane Parrish: "This book examines the enormous impact of engineering on our world (including constraints and trade-offs) and introduces to us the toolkit of modular systems thinking."

Shane Parrish: "The collection of aphorisms and quotations from European literature is extensive for such a short work."

Shane Parrish: "A must read."

Shane Parrish: "This is the second time I’ve read this book. The first was either as part of my MBA or right before I started.

It’s such a good book that I’m inclined to believe that it wasn’t part of my MBA."

Shane Parrish: "I’m a huge fan of the author"

Shane Parrish: "A book about life and death in the form of a philosophical investigation into our desire to perpetuate ourselves into the future; our will toward immortality, if you will."

Shane Parrish: "At times depressing, at times hilarious, at times hard to follow (I don’t subscribe to the bureaucracy as state violence argument – for instance), the book is a worthy reflection on our culture."

Shane Parrish: "The most intersting bits for me were the psychological exploration.

Pair it with 'The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing.'"

Shane Parrish: "This is a great book that walks us through some of history’s greatest thinkers and their answers to what is happiness and how do we achieve it?"

Shane Parrish: "I loved that this biography of Seneca digs into his contradictions without judging"

Shane Parrish: "Offers a glimpse into the hearts and minds of some of American history’s most admired figures."

Shane Parrish: "A great read."

Shane Parrish: "Especially fascinating because I haven’t read any of his writing."

Shane Parrish: "I loved her analysis on how when the number of products in a category expands, the differences – or competition – between them become increasingly trivial."

Shane Parrish: "I’m suddenly finding old letters a lot more interesting than I would have imagined."

Shane Parrish: "A.O. Scott of the New York Times called DFW 'the best mind of his generation.'

This short book offers an intimate look at his thoughts on the state of modern culture, entertainment, adulthood, and literature."

Shane Parrish: "A lot of the poems were lost on me. The aphorisms, however, were well worth the price of the book."

Shane Parrish: "A gripping and chilling exploration of how the life that everyone dreams of can sometimes leave us torn between the terror that things might stay the same and dying to feel something different."

Shane Parrish: "A look at how the way we interact online uncovers general truths that you can only find looking at large-scale data."

Shane Parrish: "A short, yet important, book that I wish more people would read and think about."

Shane Parrish: "This book distills a lifetime of business lessons by one of Canada’s most prominent (and wealthy) business leaders."

Shane Parrish: "Despite what we think, nothing is original, it’s all one variation of combinatorial creatvity and play."

Shane Parrish: "Parts of this book were great."

Shane Parrish: "As one critic put it — 'a portrait of this elusive but paradigmatic thinker that deserves to be ranked among the few truly indispensable intellectual biographies of the modern era.'"
