>and I've read everything from Atomic Habits to Zero to One.

But have you read much history? Sure there are problems now, but there always have been and always will be.

The Worldly Philosophers was good. Past that no history stuff. Recommendations?

Hit up YouTube for some college history lectures~Native American history, colonial history, post-colonial/US revolutionary War, World War history, European history, Africa/asia, it’s a lot. Check out Stephen Kotkin. He’s got an epic Lex Fridman interview.

WWII seems to rhyme most these days. Also the fall of the Roman Empire-specifically how death threats and assassinations deteriorated the Roman senate.

Be sure to read at least the end of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diary_of_a_Young_Girl (forget how much we covered in school, probably just excerpts).
