I used to love Steve's writing (back in the game developer days and some after). But I got the impression that he was becoming more and more eccentric/crazy. I haven't read his articles in a while, so maybe they are more sane now.
About 10 years ago Steve seemed really on the level of someone like Joel regarding software development and general life advice. Now it seems Steve is all crazy stuff. For example this is Timecube level thinking: https://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2019/02/your-10-dimensiona...
Now I wouldn't be surprised if Steve made way more money than Joel.
An extremely concise life advice book. Doesn't wander around ideas. Well-written.
Of all 'self-help' books I have read, this is the only I truely recommend.
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! Secondly, here are some of my favorite influential material: - Li Ka-Shing, Tips on Life. My takeaway: invest in yourself. https://addicted2success.com/success-advice/asias-richest-ma... - Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture. My takeaway: don't limit yourself https://www.y…

I disagree. I don't believe Pavlina has the track record of Joel regarding software development. His life advice at that time was "stop sleeping, you'll do more and let's see how far we can ride that secret thing" while claiming being telepathic and talking to birds. Now I wouldn't be surprised if Steve made way more money than Joel.
I remember when he was selling games way before any "indie games", even before Bejewled if I remember correctly.
I also thought regarding sleep, that he woke up every morning at the same time, and went to bed when he was tired.
You can also subscribe to the fs blog or their podcast The Knowledge Project. They do a lot with mental models.
The book The Art of Thinking Clearly is another great book that covers biases of the mind in one to two pages each.
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.

I teach it. Treat it as learning a new language where you’re also learning new attitudes. If interested let me know and I’ll give you a free 20 min intro via zoom.

Books on Stoicism. In particular, “A Guide to the Good Life” Some good stuff here: https://www.theschooloflife.com/
Seriously? I thought they were cartoonishly bad. A group of hipsters dispensing cheap philosophic pills for lazy fake intellectuals.

Don't tell me his meaning is the journey not the destination (end product book)

Pointing out the fact of white privilege and the fact that wealth often flows through generations in families is not a racist statement.
Designating a group of people by the color of their skin is racist.
