1
There are some books that stick out in my mind that have had a very, very big impact on me.
2
And so I like to answer that question by not the three greatest books ever,
3
but the three books that have had the most impact on my life.
4
I read like thousands over the years, thousands of books for research.
5
And so it's kind of like people will all of it ask you, who's your favorite child if you have a lot of children
6
and you'll inevitably say it's like the last one etc
7
so it'll be like the last books i read are my favorites
8
but there are some that stick out in my mind
9
that have had a very very big impact on me so i can remember when i was very young
10
i must have been 15 or
11
so i got a copy of machiavelli's the prince now i can assure you
12
that i hardly understood a word of it i had never worked anywhere
13
i had no knowledge of power I had never been in like a court -like environment.
14
I'd never been around anybody like a prince or anything.
15
But I loved that book.
16
I thought it was fantastic.
17
It had no relevance to my life in high school, obviously.
18
But what did I love about it?
19
I loved the brutal realism of it.
20
I loved the fact that he was looking at human beings as if we are these animals that we are.
21
And he was analyzing it without all the usual guilt, all the usual moralism what's going on in the world.
22
He was just presenting us as we are.
23
I didn't really understand experientially what he was talking about, but the style of it,
24
the clarity, the pragmatism, the beautiful language entranced me.
25
And so I've probably read that book six or seven times over the years, different formats.
26
But that paperback, that really strange little spindly little, tiny little paperback that I had when I was 15.
27
Boy, that had a huge impact on me.
28
And you can see, obviously, the influence on my books.
29
The second book, I studied ancient
30
Greek in college.
31
And you'll think, God, that has to be the most irrelevant subject anyone could ever study in university.
32
And you're probably right.
33
But it taught me some great things.
34
It's the ultimate mental discipline.
35
And I remember when I was in my second year, I believe, we were given Thucydides,
36
we call it Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War.
37
It took me three days to read one paragraph in ancient Greek.
38
The language was so difficult, so weird.
39
I had to think about each word and sentence, etc. And I thought, I came out of that and I go,
40
the style of this is so insane, it's so intricate, it's so brilliant, it's so convoluted yet logical in its own way.
41
And I became an incredible fan of Thucydides.
42
And obviously I read it later on in English, the whole book, and it's the most beautiful thing you can ever read
43
because here you're reading about our history as humans some 2500 years ago in ancient greece
44
and you've got this narrator who's
45
so modern who someone could be somebody who's not sitting right next to you who has this very clear perspective
46
and he's describing these events so far in the past they're so dramatic and they're so exciting and he's analyzing it brilliantly.
47
I wish we had a handful of writers to this day who could be like that, who could have that clarity,
48
who could have that kind of logic, who could have that kind of analytical ability.
49
But it existed 2 ,500 years ago in this great historian Thucydides.
50
He wrote one book that I know of, the history of the Peloponnesian War, but it's the most marvelous adventure you could ever go on.
51
It's a fantastic book.
52
It had a huge influence on me, almost as powerful as the Machiavelli.
53
The third book is a very weird one.
54
It's not something that most people know about or that I've ever really discussed, but it had a very large impact on me.
55
And it's, there's a series of books written in the 60s by a writer named Carlos Castaneda.
56
He was talking about the teachings of Don Juan, which is the title of one of his book.
57
And he had a book called The Journey to Ixitlan.
58
And if you ever pick up a copy of The Jury to Ixitlan, I think it's in the early 70s that it came out,
59
1970, 71, you will understand where Robert Greene got a lot of the 48
60
Laws of Power and the 33
61
Strategies of War.
62
These are amazing books.
63
You know, sometimes I wonder if they date so well because they come from the drug period.
64
And basically what it's about is the author is an anthropology student at UCLA named Carlos Castaneda
65
and he goes to study indigenous Indian practices and he comes upon this Yaqui Indian.
66
named Don Juan, who kind of initiates him in all of the ways of his indigenous culture.
67
And it includes eventually ingesting peyote and learning to become a crow and all of these weird things that you think, wow, that's too weird.
68
But a lot of it is this stuff that's all about power.
69
It's all about controlling yourself.
70
It's all about confronting your mortality.
71
It's all about becoming this great warrior in life.
72
and you know if I read it now I still love it it's not the same as
73
when I read it when I was 16
74
and I was getting excited about that stuff
75
but it's still very impactful it's still a wonderful book
76
and I'm actually using a little bit in the law of sublime
77
so those are the three books
78
that I think have had the largest impact on me of course
79
I'm leaving out Friedrich Nietzsche who had probably the greatest impact on me of all
80
but there's not one book I can single out there's like eight books
81
and then of course there's my favorite novelist Dostoevsky who had a huge impact on me.
82
I can't pick out one novel I have two three
83
or four so that's my convoluted long -winded way of answering that question.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
