Ask HN: What are good resources for life advice?

First and foremost, what you are describing is metacognition - thinking about the way you think. Hopefully that will aid you in your search for things!<p>Secondly, here are some of my favorite influential material:<p>- Li Ka-Shing, Tips on Life. My takeaway: invest in yourself. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;addicted2success.com&#x2F;success-advice&#x2F;asias-richest-man-li-ka-shing-shares-advice-for-young-entrepreneurs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;addicted2success.com&#x2F;success-advice&#x2F;asias-richest-ma...</a><p>- Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture.

Aimed for startups, but equally applicable in life. My takeaway: Have the proper motivations for doing things. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=lQs6IpJQWXc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=lQs6IpJQWXc</a><p>- Admiral William H. McRaven, Make your bed. My takeaway: if you want to change the world, start by changing yourself. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=pxBQLFLei70" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=pxBQLFLei70</a><p>- David Foster Wallace, This is Water. My takeaway: Take a big picture view, and don&#x27;t sweat the small stuff. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fs.blog&#x2F;2012&#x2F;04&#x2F;david-foster-wallace-this-is-water&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;fs.blog&#x2F;2012&#x2F;04&#x2F;david-foster-wallace-this-is-water&#x2F;</a><p>- “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I&#x27;ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.”― Rumi<p>- Man&#x27;s Search for meaning. My takeaway: We make meaning. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodreads.com&#x2F;book&#x2F;show&#x2F;4069.Man_s_Search_for_Meaning" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodreads.com&#x2F;book&#x2F;show&#x2F;4069.Man_s_Search_for_Me...</a><p>- &quot;All the livin that you&#x27;re saving, won&#x27;t buy your dreams for you&quot; - Townes Van Zandt<p>- Idiot wind by Bob Dylan My takeaway: Your reaction to things can be just as bad as the actual thing. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;songmeanings.com&#x2F;songs&#x2F;view&#x2F;57330&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;songmeanings.com&#x2F;songs&#x2F;view&#x2F;57330&#x2F;</a><p>- Stoicism and Marcus Aurelius, Seneca.

I was going to suggest Dr. Peterson, but Ctrl+F revealed a veritable graveyard of downvoted comments about him already. That&#x27;s too bad.<p>So I&#x27;ll go with Steve Pavlina&#x27;s [0] work instead.<p>Steve Pavlina&#x27;s blog is a mix of solid personal development advice mixed with a journal of his self experimentation.<p>His most interesting work is on belief systems, and on deliberately installing new belief systems to improve your life.<p>An interesting note is that he has released most of his work into the public domain. I&#x27;m working on audio versions of his articles.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stevepavlina.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stevepavlina.com&#x2F;</a>

Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl is a quick book that goes into how we internalize meaning that drives happiness from purpose that helped me figure out this out better than many other “journey &gt; destination” books.<p>Bed of Procrustus by Nassim Nicholas Taleb is a bunch of quick aphorisms that takes less than an hour to read and gives good insight into Taleb’s form of critical thinking.<p>Between the Devil and the Dragon by Eric Hoffer has essays from a self-educated, laborer philosopher and has helped me to understand much about how I think through things and why.

Books on Stoicism. In particular, “A Guide to the Good Life”<p>Some good stuff here:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theschooloflife.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theschooloflife.com&#x2F;</a>

Jordan Peterson&#x27;s Maps of Meaning, 12 Rules for Life, and his many tens of hours of content on YouTube.<p>If you&#x27;re willing to entertain the idea for a brief moment that the Bible has any wisdom at all, his Psychological Significance of the Biblical Stories is a must. I recommend them even if you aren&#x27;t willing, in fact. They converted me, and i was a fairly nihilistic atheist for almost all of my thinking life.

What sort of &quot;life advice&quot; do you want?<p>I think for starters is to realize there is a lot of contradicting life advice. Then the other thing is wether people follow the advice they give others.<p>There is a Carl Jung quote:<p>&gt; Only the paradox comes anywhere near to comprehending the fullness of life.<p>Personally for me, understanding life is understanding the pros&#x2F;cons of every scenario.<p>The pros and cons of short term thinking.<p>The pros and cons of long term thinking.<p>The trade offs between both. There are trade offs in everything we do. Understanding them, and accepting them is important.

The Psychology of Human Misjudgment by Charles T. Munger <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.harrisonbarnes.com&#x2F;the-psychology-of-human-misjudgment-by-charles-t-munger&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.harrisonbarnes.com&#x2F;the-psychology-of-human-misju...</a> (You may wish to scroll down to &quot;psychology-based tendencies that, while generally useful, often mislead&quot;)

Naval has a lot of good content.<p>I would start with his tweet storm: How to Get Rich (without getting lucky):<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;naval&#x2F;status&#x2F;1002103360646823936?s=21" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;naval&#x2F;status&#x2F;1002103360646823936?s=21</a>

&gt; There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, “Morning, boys, how&#x27;s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?” -- David Foster Wallace<p>This is a nice analogy about how hard it is to understand what we live in every day. To know about &#x27;water&#x27; I learned a lot from Thomas Eriksen -- Small Places, Large Issues. It&#x27;s an introduction to cultural anthropology and it&#x27;s a great academic read, but it also taught me a lot on a personal level; to clearly recognize different schools of thought and see their particular and universal value.<p>Good contextual knowledge of this sort tones down the general chaos of life for me. It just helps a lot to have a solid mental model of cultures and ideologies, know their overlaps and contradictions, and to have the ability to relate specific thinkers to this model.

I recommend Mark Manson – he&#x27;s got a popular blog (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;markmanson.net" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;markmanson.net</a>) on topics like these and also wrote a great book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck.

Derek Sivers&#x27; blog. One of my favourite pieces of his, There is No Speed Limit:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sivers.org&#x2F;kimo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sivers.org&#x2F;kimo</a>

12 rules of life by Jordan Peterson. Also Peterson&#x27;s YouTube channel has loads of free lectures.

Zen mind, beginner&#x27;s mind - Shunryu Suzuki. I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s life advice. But, it certainly had a profound impact on my life.<p>As an entrepreneur, I found the best way to learn about life is to read biographies of successful people, especially the ones that speak of the transformations.<p>Shoe Dog - Phil Knight Benjamin Franklin, Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein - Walter Isaacson

<i>The Conquest of Happiness</i> by Bertrand Russell.<p>Never knew unhappiness after I read this. Highly recommended.<p>Another one is <i>Méditations</i> by Marcus Aurelius.<p><i>Lives</i> by Plutarch if you have the patience.

Socrates, Spinoza, Hobbes, Rosseau, Kant, Nietzche, J.S. Mill, Camus, de Beauvoir, Arendt.

Your parents, grand parents and other paternal figures like coaches teachers aunts uncles and siblings

I recently finished reading &quot;The Wisdom of Insecurity&quot; (1951) by Alan Watts. I have to go back through it again to grasp it further. It&#x27;s a short read (~150 pages). I highly recommend it.

I like Aaron Swartz&#x27;s Raw Nerve series: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.aaronsw.com&#x2F;weblog&#x2F;rawnerve" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.aaronsw.com&#x2F;weblog&#x2F;rawnerve</a>

Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius. It&#x27;s the hardest pill I&#x27;ve ever tried to swallow in my life; in fact, I am still in the process of doing so. It goes over the mental process and ruminations of assuming the greatest commitment a human being can make: that which you make to reason and nature. Taking full responsibility of your existence is a daunting proposition, but initiating the process is a fruitful enterprise.<p>Just a warning, though: be prepared for thanatophobia while reading it, since it has &quot;memento mori&quot; written all over it.

Any body remember when Alone was writing The Last Psychiatrist?

I frequently scan Quora for interesting perspectives on life. I really like to learn from the personal stories of individuals. Of course, you have to take everything with a grain of salt, as Quora is not peer-reviewed or scholarly supported, but exactly this raw and unfiltered content makes it attractive.<p>You can learn best from the mistakes of others. It&#x27;s a kind of wisdom of the crowds-approach.<p>(I don&#x27;t work for Quora, nor do I participate in their partner program)

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (Basically the introduction to Stoicism philosophy)

My favorites:<p><i>The Last Lecture</i> by Randy Pausch<p><i>How to win friends and influence people</i> by Dale Carnegie

Coming late to this but ... I have thought long about maturity models: a collaboratively-built step-by-step approach. The famous coach John Wooden said something like &quot;the trouble with all the good new books is they keep us from reading all the good old books&quot;.<p>Not everyone is in the same place in their personal growth process, or has time to read as much as needed to find what is best and most applicable to them, but there are some best practices that can help us all, when we are ready for them. So the intent is to capture those, for any area of life (which I have grouped under mental, physical, spiritual, social&#x2F;emotional).<p>I have posted much more at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lukecall.net" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;lukecall.net</a>, under &quot;Life lessons&quot;. (I think the site is lightweight&#x2F;responsive, and skimmable.)<p>(ps: I am a religious person and the content explains why, and is heavily influenced by that. Also, I hope the concepts, and present&#x2F;future software to help with it, can be helpful, given almost any worldview.)

How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life by Scott Adams.<p>An extremely concise life advice book. Doesn&#x27;t wander around ideas. Well-written.<p>Of all &#x27;self-help&#x27; books I have read, this is the only I truely recommend.

If you&#x27;re in for a 15min&#x2F;day kinda thing, try out the Harvard Classics. Reading them acts as a great barometer for the &#x27;stickier&#x27; problems that we humans face.

Morgan Housel for financial advice. Just Google the name and follow his Twitter feed if you have an account there.<p>I have learned a ton through playing poker. The game has a lot of carry-over into real life. Luck vs Skill. Variance. Take a look at the link for a great review on a great book about poker.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;25iq.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;10&#x2F;13&#x2F;lessons-from-annie-duke-author-of-thinking-in-bets-making-smarter-decisions-when-you-dont-have-all-the-facts&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;25iq.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;10&#x2F;13&#x2F;lessons-from-annie-duke-author-o...</a>

I think Poor Charlies Almanac is great as it covers the mental models. It also has a wealth of life advice.<p>You can also subscribe to the fs blog or their podcast The Knowledge Project. They do a lot with mental models.<p>The book The Art of Thinking Clearly is another great book that covers biases of the mind in one to two pages each.<p>The Tim Ferris podcast surprisingly has some amazing guests filled with life advice. I just listened to one with Jim Collins, author of Good to Great. It was absolutely fantastic.

A wonderful book that&#x27;s a little off the beaten path for HN is &quot;Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life,&quot; by Anne Lamott.

I enjoy the writings of Kapil Gupta. In fact I found them life-transforming. Naval is mentioned here - I believe him and Kapil are friends.<p>He writes on mastery, seriousness and the Truth.<p>His Twitter: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;KapilGuptaMD" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;KapilGuptaMD</a>.<p>And some excerpts from his writings:<p>&gt; <i>&quot;Cleverness and insincerity are loud. Seriousness is quiet&quot;</i><p>&gt; <i>&quot;The Mind does not assault man for his mistakes. It assaults him for the cover-up&quot;</i><p>&gt; <i>&quot;If there was one single thing that stands between man and his freedom, it is the belief that he has time&quot;</i><p>&gt; <i>&quot;What must be understood is that human beings’ lives harden into routines. They harden into a way of being. At some long-forgotten moment many moons ago, they settled. For things they swore they would not settle for...today&#x27;s compromise is tomorrow&#x27;s resentment”&quot;</i><p>&gt; <i>&quot;People are who they are. And they will do everything in their power to remain who they are. And the Mind will make certain of this&quot;</i><p>&gt; <i>&quot;The common man is afraid of “losing.” The Legend is afraid of not arriving at his ultimate capability. These are fundamentally different paths&quot;</i>

Pocket&#x27;s must reads are full of lots of self-development articles: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.getpocket.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;11&#x2F;2018-must-reads-on-pocket&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.getpocket.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;11&#x2F;2018-must-reads-on-pocket...</a>

Sam Altman’s blog.

Do new things often as it slows down the perception of time.

I like Coach Red Pill on You Tube. Some of his stuff is pretty insightful.

I&#x27;m biased in favor of audiobooks since they fit with strolls. Books are for sitting, walking burns calories :)<p>Books:<p><i>How to Win Friends and Influence People</i> and <i>How to Stop Worrying and Start Living</i> by Dale Carnegie<p>Taste testing:<p><i>PhilosophersNotes</i> is like sparknotes for self-help books. Can be used as a way to discover &#x2F; screen books you&#x27;d like.<p>Audio:<p><i>Psychology in Seattle</i>&#x27;s episodes regarding Attachment Theory (6 episodes). The reason why is it&#x27;s a swiss army knife for understanding relationships and behavior. These episodes are paywalled though, but there are free episodes available if you use a Podcast app.<p>Like aphextron mentioned Socrates: <i>Republic</i>, <i>Apology</i> by Plato are really good. The one narrated by Ray Childs.<p>Audible for <i>Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance</i> by Robert Pirsig (it&#x27;s like a Socratic dialog about what Quality is)<p>A lot of stuff by The Teaching Company &#x2F; Great Courses in general have been good quality (maybe I&#x27;ve been lucky).

Stoicism books, Markmanson.net, books by Brene Brown

If my kids ask me for advice about buying a house, taking a job, doing a degree, etc, I&#x27;ll refer them to bogleheads.org without hesitation.

Dear Sugar, the Rumpus advice column.

On the Shortness of Life by Seneca

Maybe not the place to admit it but I&#x27;m more of a Naval fan myself...

Not sure if spending time on life advice is better than on life itself.

12 rules of life by Jordan peterson

If you already know all the usual advice or don’t think highly of them, try the graduate level works of Kapil Gupta.<p>- kapilguptamd.com<p>- He appeared in a few episodes on 33voices podcast<p>- two recent appearances in Crazy Wisdom podcast with Stewart Alsop
