What people on Hacker News said
For decades I've been plagued by 'what is one supposed to do in life' question, I've been restless for years. These two books gave me atleast a logical framework to understand my frustrations.
You may disagree with what they are saying, but these books will give you a new perspective.
About 128 pages, I've just read J Krishnamurti's Freedom from the Known.. quite interesting and potentially revelatory?
I've been reading this book, and this book only, for the last year or so. It's mind blowing, maybe or maybe not in a good way.
