I'm realising that is very important and curious to know what influential and people who got really good at what they do,recommend the books the read so that we will get some insightful advice.

For example,Tai Lopez,a self-made millionaire who advocates that reading books is one of the most important sources of inspiration as he speaks in TED:





Here you can see all the books that he recommends:

Also,the favourite books of 21 CEOs(of the most influential companies of the world):

what are your thoughts? Hope it will be helpful

First that is a TEDx event, not a TED event. Essentially the difference is that people get invited to speak at TED while TEDx events are organized locally.

Second he doesn't read a book every day. What a bunch of bullshit.

Third I've yet to hear any details whatsoever about his initial startups. He has ads on youtube promoting his website, and I refuse to believe it is out of the goodness of his heart.

I'm sure that is a great reading list but I couldn't help pointing out that Tai Lopez is sketchy as fuck.

Here is a summary I found of why this guy is essentially a scam artist.

4 hour work week. Read a book a day. Leap tall buildings in a single bound.

I knew he was a troll.

I was wondering about this guy myself. The whole 'one book a day' did seem to be utter bullshit.

Amusingly, given the mention of the 4 hour workweek, when I Googled 'Tim Ferriss scam', a ROK article was the first result

Yeah, me too.



At 1.20 Brandon Carter (a certified speed reader) asks Tai what pace he speed-reads at. Tai just kind of dodges the question.
