The Art of Knowing - Christopher Langan

For a $10 e-book, I give it 5 stars. It's a decidedly quick overview of his theories on ethics, God, reality, and mind, but enjoyable and thought provoking enough to make me want to dig back into his CTMU, again.

If you haven't heard of him, he's an off-the-charts genius who works as a bouncer in Long Island. Grew up poor and abused. No degree.

IGx stock.

Don't be intimidated by the 150+ pages. It's double spaced with wide margins, making it about a 40 page book IMO.

Looks interesting. Not sure if you've read Outliers, but I believe Langen is one of the guys Gladwell talks extensively about in his book. Pretty fascinating guy from what I recall.

Thanks.
