Recommended reading list thread! What have you read this year that you think others should read as well? Here's a few of mine that really stand out. Factfulness, by Hans Rosling The Ethics of Ambiguity, by Simone de Beauvoir Designing Delivery, by Jeff Sussna (re-read) The Cooking Gene, by Michael Twitty Binti, by Nnedi Okorafor The Philosophy of Spinoza The Silk Roads, by Peter Frankopan
…interesting - depression, being a bandleader, and being a parent and husband. Binti, by Nnedi Okorafor. An outstanding science fiction novella from an entirely different perspective - an African future. The Ethics of Ambiguity, by Simone de Beauvoir. A mid-century philosophy classic, tackling ethics from an existentialist perspective. Dense and difficult, but also highly entertaining and brilliant. Highly recommended if you…
Maybe the problem is you're trying to "feel good" rather than confront feeling bad. My recommendation is Simone de Beauvoir's Ethics of Ambiguity. It details various strategies people have for confronting their own existential terror, and ultimately works to develop an ethical system for a world without meaning. I've found it very insightful for…
…phenomenology and/or existentialism and works that are somewhat readable (this is subjective of course), I'd suggest: 1. Maurice Merleau-Ponty - The Phenomenology of Perception 2. Simone de Beauvoir - Ethics of Ambiguity 3. Friedrich Nietzsche - Will to Power I'd highly recommend NOT reading Being and Time by Heidegger - you'll want to stab your eyes out ten times. Outside of pure philosophical texts and more emphasis…
…publication, which means time has caught up to their ahead of the curve ideas. The most I’ve gotten out of a book, in terms of altering the way I think about the world and life, is Simone De Beauvoir and the Ethics of Ambiguity. Man, I love me some Simone.

……很有意思——抑郁症、当乐队领队、为人父母以及身为人夫。奈迪·奥科拉弗的《宾蒂》，一部从中东非洲未来这一全新视角展开的极其出色的科幻中篇。《模糊性的道德》，西蒙娜·德·波伏娃著。一部20世纪中叶的哲学经典，从存在主义视角探讨伦理学。内容硬核且晦涩，但同时又极具趣味、才气逼人。强烈推荐，如果你……

也许问题在于你总想“感觉良好”，而不是去直面糟糕的感觉。我的推荐是西蒙娜·德·波伏娃的《模糊性的道德》。它详述了人们面对自身存在主义恐惧时的各种策略，并最终致力于为这个毫无意义的世界构建一套伦理体系。我觉得它非常发人深省……

……现象学和/或存在主义，而且想找些勉强读得下去的著作（当然这见仁见智），我建议：1. 莫里斯·梅洛-庞蒂 - 《知觉现象学》 2. 西蒙娜·德·波伏娃 - 《模糊性的道德》 3. 弗里德里希·尼采 - 《权力意志》。我强烈建议千万别读海德格尔的《存在与时间》——读了你肯定想把自己眼珠子抠出来十次。除了纯哲学文本、更偏重……

……出版，这意味着时代终于赶上了他们那些超前的思想。在改变我对世界和生活的看法方面，我从一本书里获得的启发最多，那就是西蒙娜·德·波伏娃的《模糊性的道德》。天哪，我真是太爱波伏娃了。

西蒙娜·德·波伏娃的《模糊性的道德》帮我走出了那段相当痛苦、让人丧失行动力的虚无主义泥潭。
"The Ethics of Ambiguity" by Simone de Beauvoir helped pull me out of a pretty debilitating bout of nihilism.
