Books recommended by Marc Andreessen

”Let’s just say, we started out relationship with vigorous disagreement, and we’ve continued that to this day.”

”Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman -- Captivating dive into human decision making, marred by inclusion of several/many? psychology studies that fail to replicate. Will stand as a cautionary tale?”

”So High Output Management is one of Andy Grove’s books. It’s the best book on management ever written.”

”Sparkling explanation of how the economy evolves, producing the glorious cornucopia of goods and services available all around us. How to feel good about the future even in dark times.”

”He wrote another book called Only the Paranoid Survive , which is one of my favorite topics. And so that is also a very good book we recommend.”

”Best (?) walk through the ancient/current philosophy of Stoicism. You can't control other people but you can control yourself, so do that.”

”on why even environmentalists should be pro building, pro cities, pro nuclear, and pro genetic engineering.”

”a brilliant book on the nature of mass movements and collective psychology.”

”The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga -- Smash hit in Japan, and easy to see why. Adlerian psychology meets Stoic philosophy in Socratic dialogue. Compelling from front to back. Highly recommend.”

”I hand out more copies of this book than any other. How to take responsibility for yourself and for those around you. Modern Stoicism, as applied in the military, business, and life.”

”Is the future knowable, and by whom? All pundits and commentators should publish their prediction track records, yet don't.”

”My partner @bhorowitz has a new book!”

”So the author, Neal Gabler, who has written the best biography on Walt Disney.”

”The film was fine but the book is unreal; incredibly vivid story of superlative American heroes.”

”The astonishing story of the Litvinenko and Perepilichnyy assassinations in the UK; reads like a Lee Child thriller; plenty topical now.”

”on how four great builders of the 19th century built the world we live in today.”

”On the bus/in the plane with the Hillary campaign. Revealing in many dimensions at once, and highly entertaining. Best book on the 2016 campaign so far?”

”The Schultz biography is amazing. And, basically, the biographer makes the case that Peanuts was the longest, continuous work of American art ever made.”

”on why we can't build in great American cities like San Francisco today and what we need to do about it.”

”on how technology-driven productivity growth improves human welfare and creates more jobs and higher wages.”

”Nothing about his career was an accident, which I thought was fascinating.”

”a sobering reexamination of how democratic governments actually make decisions.”

”Certainly the story is well known, but given author's propensity to post photos of himself wearing running shoes in Iowa, potentially relevant again starting next year?”

”The Spider Network by @davidenrich -- "Billions"-esque saga of global financial market manipulation, at mind-boggling scale and hiding in plain sight, by a small cabal of bankers in London.”

”How 1960s racial politics descended into 1970s terrorist bombings, thanks to privileged college students breaking very bad.”

”Visceral, raw, you-are-there recounting of living through the hack attacks and resulting meltdown of the DNC in 2016.”

”the definitive work on practical life under totalitarianism.”

”the single best book I have found on who we are and how we got here.”

”The Machiavellians, and The Managerial Revolution, by James Burnham -- together, the best explanation for the current structure of our society and politics.”

”The Wizard of Menlo Park is a great biography of Edison.”

”on the country and culture the United States is evolving into, not necessarily decline, but something very different.”

”"Wall Street"-esque battle between Bill Ackman and Carl Icahn over unlikely target Herbalife. Sip a delicious Herbal Aloe Shake while reading.”

”This is one of the craziest books I've ever read; highly recommend.”

”How cities drive the development of civilization, by putting people together. Highly relevant to the future of the Internet!”

”One perspective on the politics of immgiration in Europe, playing out in real time, e.g. Merkel almost getting deposed days ago. Confusing on multiple levels from US perspective.”
