Depends what you want. Science or philosophy or...? Beginning of Infinity, Rational Optimist, Skin in the Game are all amazing. If you want more eastern philosophy, try Siddhartha, I am That, Jed McKenna.

Start with The Beginning of Infinity. Then read Matt Ridley, Nick Szabo, David Deutsch, Nassim Taleb, Schopenhauer, Peter Thiel, Popper, Feynman, Art DeVany, Scott Adams, Jed McKenna. Recognize them when they challenge socially enforced mass-delusions with science and logic.

Hard on Twitter. You can read DeMello, J Krishnamurti, Jed McKenna, Michael Singer, Rupert Spira, Osho, Tolle, etc.. Different ones appeal to different people.

Persistent lived experience of no-self (Jed McKenna) or persistent lived experience of something far greater than the self (Daoist / Mystic).

Nihilism is the product of straight, cold reasoning with no illusions. Non-dualism is best experienced via a serious meditation practice. See @KapilGuptaMD, Jed McKenna, Osho, Schopenhauer, Anthony DeMello, Eckhart Tolle, Michael Singer.

At the moment, the most interesting ones for me are Jed McKenna, @KapilGuptaMD, Osho, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Anthony DeMello and Rupert Spira.

Jed McKenna has 10 books of which at least 8 are fantastic. But Dan is right, there’s nothing similar out there.

Jed is unique. @KapilGuptaMD is equally iconoclastic but in a completely different way.

Jed McKenna is to spirituality what Rick and Morty is to children’s cartoons.

Just re-read eight books in a row by Jed McKenna. Re-reading the ninth one now. Won't appeal to most people, though.

I just found myself naturally obsessing gravitating towards a philosophy phase. Some of the more interesting characters that I discovered, for those of you who are into self-examination: Anthony de Mello who wrote a great book called awareness, another one was Rupert Spira he's got a bunch of videos up on YouTube, and I reread my Jed McKenna which had read a long time ago but a very provocative character.

Osho, Anthony DeMello, Michael Singer, and Jed McKenna are all a lot more approachable.

Krishnamurti was incredibly influential on me. When I first read him in my late thirties, it was like a bomb went off in my head. He was speaking in a language that was completely removed from my own. He wrote in a very complex form of English where he used certain words in a way that didn't line up with what I had learned over my entire life. But it had the feel of truth to it. He laid out a clear, consistent, and integrated philosophy of what it means to be conscious and free. That said, it's a very advanced read. I've given Krishnamurti to some of my friends and they just hand it back and tell me that it didn't make any sense to them. I think it's better to start with something simpler like Eckart Tolle, Adyashanti, Jed McKenna, or Osho.

He’s a weird one. I’m not sure I’d recommend him for everybody.
