Basically a unified theory of consciousness. 100% must read.
* (Theory) The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes
A bit long winded but it really changes the way you think about the voice in your head, about consciousness in general. Pairs well with Surfing Uncertainty
* (Self Help) Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg
Really wakes you up to the domination language that rules our interactions and provides an alternative framework. Its even great if you don't plan on implementing NVC, just to understand what non nonviolent langue is. Pairs well with Julian Jaynes The Origin of Consciousness for understanding how language formed our minds and our societies.
* (Theory) The Force of Nonviolence Judith Butler
Wakes you up to the highly dominant and persistent narrative of violence. Provides frameworks for something else.
If this doesnt blow your mind im not sure what will.
* (Theory)Staying with the Trouble by Donna J. Haraway
The name says it all. Ways to stop trying to wipe the slate clean, to start from scratch, but instead to "stay with the trouble" and make new things WITH. Wakes your mind up to disrupting in whole new ways.
* (Theory) The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein
Another book that helps you see the world through different eyes, or even if I dare, to see the world more clearly.
Pairs nicely with the unnecessarily long winded "Fall" by Neal Stephenson for understand a post truth world, specifically the idea of "Edit Streams"
* (Scifi )The Reality Dysfunction by Peter F. Hamilton
This one game me a framework for science and spirituality to coincide
* (Scifi ) Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie
Questions everything, blows your mind on multiple levels.
* (Self Help) She Comes First by Ian Kerner
Wakes you up to the massive comfort imbalance in sex between genders and provides simple ways to help fix it (for heterosexual)
