Books I've read Recently that have been pretty interesting
1. How To Stop Worrying and Start Living - Dale Carnegie
Great advice even for the non-worrier.
2. A book on the scrap metal business
I'm moving to Arkansas. I have a brother in law there who is a "professional scrapper" I read a short kindle book on the topic.
An interesting chapter was on obtaining commercial accounts, so maybe I'll have some good info for my brother in law when I get there
3. The Survival Gardeners Guide to Growing Your Own Caffeine - David the Good
In the southern USA there is an easy to grow tree called the Yaupon Holly, you can make a nice caffeinated drink from the leaves. I found this book really interesting. Having a supply of caffeine would be pretty beneficial of there were some catastrophic event and you really had to rely on yourself.
4. The Survival Gardeners Guide to Growing Tobacco For Smoking, Barter and medicine - David the Good
Same topic and author. Tobacco could be used for barter. Also I think cigars are pretty cool.

Stoic wisdom. I loved the book. My favorite chapter was Get Moving
