Done. That will definitely add more visibility to the wiki post

What about audiobooks?
You can of course suggest audiobooks as well! If you feel like some very important audiobooks are missing feel free to add them to the wiki post 
I have no source. I thought all of them should be pretty handy in audio format.
I donāt have any other good source of quality audiobooks as well, but thereāre some on youtube. For example, thereās Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk by Peter L. Bernstein.
Hey @Julianek and other book worms, any new recommendations?
Lately, I started reading a lot of self-help books and three especially interesting are:
- 12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson
- The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg
- Mindshift by Barbara Oakley
In finance, I can recommend:
- A Wealth of Common Sense by Ben Carlson (main message: donāt do stock picking, itās hard - do indexing
)
Iām currently reading How Not to Die, which might interest you if you are currently into self-help. Itās about diet for long-term health. It can get a bit repetitive in some parts, but itās easy to identify this parts and just skip over.

I got hooked on low-carb and paleo thanks to āWhy We Get Fatā by Gary Taubes. I quit sugar, but quitting bread and potatoes for a Polish family is practically impossible.

I have a friend doing this, only eating meat, fish, eggs, cheese etc, and no carbo based stuff as grains, potatoes, fruits, etc.
I think this is quit non-sustainable. if everybody did that, the planet couldānt feed half of the curent population. not to speak of climate and invironmental impact of growing that much cattle and harvesting even more fish than even today
I am quite convinced that by reducing the pure sugar stuff in our daily life gets you 90% towards a healthy diet: sugar in coffee, chocolate, jam, honey, ketchup, soft drinks, (sweet) pastry, etc
How Not to Die is not actually about losing weight, but about preventing diseases with diet instead of treating the disease once it appears

Mr Money Mustache is also on that diet. But his version is more vegetable/nuts based - he eats lots of avocados, salads with olive oil, coconut oil, and so on.
Iām not sure if it is not sustainable. The basic rule of economics is that if demand is growing with fixed supply, then the price is rising - this, in turn, attracts capital investments because of the bigger return on capital. The more capital is invested, the bigger production and thus supply - this equilibrates the market back to normal, sustainable price which clears the market and satisfies all demand.
Once one understands this basic mechanism, then itās hard to be as alarmist as some ecologists are - besides 200 years ago people (Thomas Malthus) were saying āweāre running out of food, population is growing too fast to support itselfā, 100 years ago people (William Jevons) were saying āweāre running out of coal, the population is using coal too fastā, 30 years ago people (Club of Rome) started saying āweāre running out of oil, world is using oil too fastā. People basically canāt imagine the exponential changes in the technology of production thanks to capital investments - itās hard to imagine exponential changes, just like compound interest.
I think the solution to overfishing is privatisation of the waters. Just like the solution to deforestation in many developed countries (for example Sweden) was privatisation of forests.
Speaking of climate change, Iām generally of opinion of these two economists.
Totally agree. If you add to that list potatoes, bread, pasta and grain - you end up with low-carb diet. I think itās in general important to not eat sugar and carbs with high glycemic/insulin index.
Interesting, I have to read that and incorporate it into my diet.
Iāve read that books have lots of fiberā¦

I have all of them in epub version, but I really donāt like to read on the computer 
In my case I bought a second-hand Kindle on tutti.ch for 30 CHF.
This solved the matter for me, but I acknowledge that not everybody likes to read on an e-reader.
