The Book of Five Rings by Musashi Miyamoto (a book I have just read) is based on similar theme to The Art of War by Sun Tzu, It is no where near as comprehensive though; some good principles, imho.

Freakonomics, by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner

Possibly the most interesting social science book that I've read. Levitt is a brilliant applied microeconomist who exposes cheating by schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers, looks at the franchise-style organzation of street gangs and explains why crack dealers still live with their moms, links the drop in crime of the 1990s to Roe v. Wade and the legalization of abortion, and analyzes issues regarding parenting.

If you're a social science nerd, go buy/borrow/steal this book -- right fucking now.

'The Wisdom of Insecurity' by Alan Watts. Subject: Philosophy & Religion. Pages: 152.


Just finished reading this book, and it is the best non-fiction book I have read in a long time. I found I went back to paragraphs just to re-read them, astounded by the concepts it depicts. Don't just read it though, digest it and apply it to your own philosophy.

Chronicles of Tao-Deng Ming-Dao

This book reaffirmed my belief in meditation, and helped clear my mind all through last year, plus it's a VERY adventurous read, a little bit like The Odyssey in a way, this is the best book I have ever read, aside from Miles Davis's autobiography.
