Ask HN: Books Worth Rereading Periodically?

20 points by adityar 4 years ago · 11 comments · 1 min read


I read "the intelligent investor" once a year or so to reinforce the value mindset. Are there any other books like that worth reading periodically?

Business & work : Deep Work - Cal Newport, Anti fragile - Nassim Taleb CNV : Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life. Marshall Rosenberg "spiritual" or wisdom related : Tao Te King, Marcus Aurelius, the Gospel, Meditation on the Tarot classics : Plato, Homer, and Peloponese's war by Thucydides. And I couldn't explain why but I re-read Into thin air by Krakauer every year.

Given my username:

Meditations of Marcus Aurelius

The Enchiridion

Be sure to get modern translations of both. Reading these is not an academic exercise, it is a practical exercise.

        Thanks for the suggestion. Just ordered along with Psycho Cybernetics which also gets a lot of recommendations
