Carnivore Aurelius' Book List

Some great ones on here. Want to keep for when I'm ready for another book:


MOOO,

Almost nothing has changed my life more than books....other than steak and beef liver.

But books are like steak for your mind. Reading the right book today is like learning from a great mentor or master that we no longer have.

It's the antidote to our societal brain rot. Forcing you to confront new ideas, sit with something and concentrate for an extended period of time.

It's nourishment and weight lifting for your mind, and one of the keys to living a great life today.
