Tools of the Titans is great. I often pick it up and read a few chapters at random. I always get new insights.
Tao Te Ching is great. Not only as a life philsophy BUT there's an interesting thing here. Nobody knows if Lao Tzu wrote this as a spiritual text or a political one. All of the advice applies as if it were advice given to a leader.
So take the industry of your life, open the Tao Te Ching, and see how it applies to your situation.
Have you checked out The Extended Mind by Annie Murphy Paul? It tries to make practical use the philosophical ideas of embodied cognition (using our bodies to think better--eg, gesturing while talking), situated cognition (using our surroundings to think better--eg, author Robert Caro wrote Master of the Senate used a 4ft x 10ft cork board to aid his planning, phone apps are another example), and distributed cognition (Using others to think better--eg, bouncing an idea off a coworker) Not all of the suggestions work for me personally and I didn't finish reading it, but I think it's a cool concept overall. It has similarities to your book. Thanks again
