Books that will help me release my power?

None of the great men needed books to tell them how to change the world in fundamental ways. They felt that fire burning inside them and followed their instincts.

You were done before you were even born.

Read bios of great men like Hitler and Napoleon. Your enemy is the banks, win against them and you'll make history.

Napoleon was a mathematician. I forgot what he solved but it was in geometry

Napoleon read a fucking lot of history books to the point that he preferred to buy books than gloves when he was a moneyless general in Paris, lots of bios and wanted to be a writer to the point to participate in contests (that he didn't win)

>Have you ever believed that I did not know, for example, that if I had already begun to ask myself over and over again whether or not I had the right to seize that power, did that mean that I did not have that right? Or that if i asked myself if man is a louse, it meant that man is not a louse for me, but rather a louse for those who do not think about it and go through life without asking questions? That if I tormented myself for so many days wondering whether Napoleon had done it or not, was it because I realized that I was not a Napoleon?

Memoirs and biographies of great men that are worth reading
Napoleon - Andrew Roberts
FDR: Traitor to his Class
Reagan - Bob Spitz
Total Recall - Arnold Schwarzenegger
Theodore Rex
Titan - Ron Chernow

Napoleon unironically spent his formative years starting with the Greeks. The classical would was a lifelong inspiration for him, he wanted to rival Alexander in his historical legacy. Classical motifs litter his campaigns and style of governance. If you want to be great like Napoleon, start learning Greek and Latin NOW.

I'm working on a chart of biographies of great men, here is the list:
>Plutarch's lives
>The Anabasis of alexander
>Caesar: life of a colossus & The Gallic War
>Augustus: first emperor of rome
>Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson
>Washington: a life
>Benjamin Franklin: an american life & his autobiography
>Goethe: life as a work of art & Maxims and reflections
>Napoleon by andrew roberts
>Abraham lincoln: a biography
I'm still adding more, so if anyone has a suggestion i will add to the list, since it's still lacking a lot from the middle ages. Right now i'm searching for more obscure or less know great men. I'm also asking myself if i should add Marcus Aurelius and Frederick the great. (Also if i should add Ernst Jünger since a lot of people here had said he was a great man).
