Penser avec clarté
L'art et la science de la pensée claire
Guillaume Arenas
Shane Parrish
Dans 'Penser avec clarté', Shane Parrish propose des outils inspirés de la philosophie stoïcienne, de la psychologie et des sciences du comportement pour améliorer la prise de décision et agir de façon plus intentionnelle.

Ego is the Enemy
Ryan Holiday
In *Ego Is the Enemy*, Ryan Holiday delves into the concept of ego and its detrimental effects on personal and professional success. The book is divided into three sections: Aspiration, Success, and Failure, each offering valuable lessons and perspectives. Holiday draws on a vast array of stories and examples from literature, philosophy, and history, featuring figures such as George Marshall, Jackie Robinson, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt. These individuals achieved great success by conquering their own egos, and their strategies and tactics are presented as models for readers. The book emphasizes the importance of staying grounded, continually learning, and embracing a mindset of growth rather than letting ego hinder development.
Système 1 / Système 2
Les deux vitesses de la pensée
Daniel Kahneman
Le livre de Daniel Kahneman détaille les deux modes de pensée humaine : le système 1, rapide et instinctif, et le système 2, plus lent et plus logique. Il expose les biais cognitifs associés à chacun de ces modes, en se basant sur plusieurs décennies de recherches universitaires, notamment sur l'aversion à la perte et la substitution de questions difficiles par des questions plus faciles. Le livre met en lumière la trop grande confiance dans le jugement humain et les ravages des partis pris cognitifs tels que l'illusion de familiarité, l'effet de halo et le biais optimiste.
Thinking, Fast and Slow
Daniel Kahneman
In this book, Daniel Kahneman takes readers on a tour of the mind, explaining how the two systems of thought shape our judgments and decisions. System 1 is fast, automatic, and emotional, while System 2 is slower, effortful, and logical. Kahneman discusses the impact of cognitive biases, the difficulties of predicting future happiness, and the effects of overconfidence on corporate strategies. He offers practical insights into how to guard against mental glitches and how to benefit from slow thinking in both personal and business life. The book also explores the distinction between the 'experiencing self' and the 'remembering self' and their roles in our perception of happiness.
L'ego est l'ennemi
Maîtrisez votre plus grand adversaire
Ryan Holiday
Dans ce livre, Ryan Holiday montre comment l'ego peut entraver l'apprentissage et le développement des talents, aveugler et semer des problèmes futurs avec le succès, et amplifier les conséquences des échecs. En s'appuyant sur les sagesses anciennes, Holiday aide les lecteurs à identifier et à désamorcer l'ego avant qu'il ne les détruise. Le livre souligne l'importance de l'humilité, de la conscience de soi, du but et du réalisme pour surmonter les problèmes causés par l'ego.
Pensées Pour Moi-Même
Marc Aurèle
Recueil de réflexions personnelles de l'empereur romain Marc Aurèle sur la philosophie stoïcienne, la vie, la mort et le destin.
Meditations
Marcus Aurelius
Meditations is a series of private writings composed by Marcus Aurelius, one of Rome's greatest emperors, as he struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Written between 170 and 180 CE while on military campaigns, this work combines Stoic philosophy with personal observations on leadership, duty, mortality, and human nature. Through twelve books of intimate thoughts never intended for publication, Marcus Aurelius explores themes of self-improvement, resilience in the face of adversity, and living virtuously while accepting what cannot be changed.
Poor Charlie's Almanack
The Essential Wit and Wisdom of Charles T. Munger
Charles T. Munger
Peter D. Kaufman
Originally published in 2005, Poor Charlie's Almanack is a collection of eleven talks delivered by Charles T. Munger between 1986 and 2007. Edited by Peter D. Kaufman, this book draws on Munger's extensive knowledge across various fields to provide a framework for rational and rigorous approaches to life, learning, and decision-making. It is renowned for its sharp wit and rhetorical flair, making it an essential read for investors, entrepreneurs, and anyone seeking to enhance their wisdom and critical thinking skills.
Clear Thinking
Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results
Shane Parrish
In 'Clear Thinking', Shane Parrish provides a comprehensive manual for improving decision-making and personal growth. The book highlights how most people operate on autopilot, driven by behavioral defaults shaped by biology, evolution, and culture. Parrish offers strategies to recognize and capitalize on pivotal moments between stimulus and response, using stories, mental models, and a 4-stage decision process (define, explore, evaluate, execute). The book aims to help readers build self-knowledge, self-control, and self-confidence, and to make better decisions by balancing emotions with rational thinking and gathering high-quality information.

The ex-spy who now advises Wall Street.
Shane Parrish used to work for the Canadian intelligence services. A cybersecurity specialist, he joined the agency just two weeks before 9/11, an event that would trigger a lifelong quest:
How can we make better decisions?
At the time, Shane wasn’t even allowed to have an online presence. But when a media outlet exposed his identity, he left the agency and poured his energy into his blog, called Farnam Street.
Fast forward to today: his newsletter is read by over 850,000 people, and he has built one of the oldest paid communities on the web.
The problem? There’s no formal training on decision-making despite being one of the most powerful skills you can learn.
So Shane went all in. He documented everything he was learning and eventually launched one of the top podcasts in the US: The Knowledge Project.
From cognitive biases to behavioral psychology to investment strategies, he immersed himself fully. Over time, he even caught the attention of Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett’s longtime right-hand man, who became his mentor.
At first, it was Wall Street insiders who tuned in. Then word spread, and his audience exploded far beyond the finance world.
His book, Clear Thinking—a New York Times Bestseller—has helped thousands reclaim control over their decisions and move past ego, anger, and anxiety.
In this episode, Shane shares the rules that shaped his journey—how to think clearly, decide wisely… and live better.
A must-listen for anyone who wants to regain control and truly thrive.
