Hi Elizabeth, thanks for all your content, it has helped me a lot. I wanted to ask you if it is possible to get your book as a standalone item instead of having to purchase the bundle. It might help other people as well in terms of cost effectiveness. Thank you.
Great inspo thank you for your recommendations , for me I believe reading is not just enough". Take the action! Put your newfound knowledge to use. I read for a long time but Action made my life change in no time ( generally and mostly financially) That's my two cents on this
I struggle to follow through, especially financially. I earn quite enough but hardly have a saving. Rent, bills, debt, expenses take it all away. It almost feels like I leave paycheck to paycheck
Live below your means, Adjust your lifestyle, be frugal in spending don't buy unnecessary stuff, Budget your spending and your debts, Save, Invest it's a better way to grow wealth, get a financial expert to help you.
The first book you mention is "The Untethered Soul"... this was the first book that sent me down the absolute rabbit hole. I knew I could be exactly who I wanted to be with that book in my hand. I'm so glad someone with as large a platform as yours recommends it! I always like your videos within the first minute. 😭 Thank you so much for all you do!
Adding to my list! Another recommendation from me: *Colette Dowling, The Cinderella Syndrome-Women's hidden fear of independence* This one is especially for women who come from more conservative communities, most importantly for women who suffer imposter syndrome or sudden loss of ambition and motivation. Really, it can be read by anyone, but for women in this situation can just get so much out of it!
Omg! I have that same copy for "The Vindication of the rights of women"! I would highly recommend that particular edition because the first part of the book is about the life of the author and the context in which she was situated, which explains the relevance of her work. Additionally, the text notes at the back are essential for some terminology and cultural references that are very specific to Mary Wollstonecraft's time period.
A book recommendation for 2023 (or earlier ;) ) from me would be: Chris Palmer MD, Brain Energy. In this book Chris Palmer, a Harvard psychiatrist, describes a unified theory of mental illnesses. The hypothesis is: Mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain. It's the research topic that could be excited the most in the last years. There is a 3h podcast episode in the Huberman lab with Chris Palmer.
You've officially changed my life for the better. I got a library card and started reading the books you suggest. Project Hail Mary was SOOOOO beautiful. I learned a lot of cool science stuff and there was a lot of philosophy/human-nature stuff to ponder too, as you said. I even learned about myself from how I thought things would turn out. I can't thank you enough for inspiring me to reignite my love for reading!
The way you describe the way the author of "Love" puts some of our unknown or indescribable emotions into words really resonates with me. It is how I have determined some my favorite books. For me, Emily Bronte did this the most in "Wuthering Heights". I am looking forward to reading "Love" and all of the books on your list. You perform a great service to your viewers . Thank you.
Please make a whole video of you talking about your book! I want to hear what it's about and how your process was when writing it and everything! I love listening to authors talking about their own work
I loved this video! My favourite fiction book of this year was Babel by R.F Kuang, and my favourite non-fiction was Love Stories by Trent Dalton. Also, two of my favourite books that I re-read this year were Know My Name by Chanel Miller and Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke. As for sci-fi/fantasy books, I wholeheartedly recommend the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee and Anathem by Neal Stephenson
Thank you for these recs!! you've quickly become my go to "productivity and human insight" person on RUclips. Just made a page in my Notion second brain with this list and added your main touching points on each. Always knew I should start a personal info base, but your insight was the push that I needed to get that going. Life-changing content here!
Thank you so much for the recommendations Elizabeth! I’ve added them to my list =) One of my favourite books is The Solitaire Mystery by Jostein Gaarder. I’ve read when I was 16 and loved and I’ve been reading it since then (for the last 20 years, hahaha). Every time I read it it feels different.
Absolutely loved Project Hail Mary. The audio book on Audible is just brilliant too! Worth listening to that even after you’ve read the book… I think it’s my favourite of Andy Weir’s books
Wait… I really want tell you that how grateful I’m that I got to discover this channel and a person like you exists. I’m one of those indecisive one who doesn’t know what she gonna do in future as a profession, I find myself being ok with literally everything. Last night this video was recommended on my RUclips feed and very first video was about the worst advices and that’s exactly what I wanted to hear that point I think the things that you’ve explained was quite realistic and that literally solved half of my life problems. And after that I watched so many videos of yours specifically the medic one and ya I love all them. ❤ Edit :- Dude !! This is crazy I didn’t know that I wrote the whole paragraph ….ahhhh…totally unexpected I think it’s the first time when I’m expressing so much emotion in a comment section. And btw Take a good care. Bye ❤
You are my favorite channel in the world. I literally looked up your channel to see if you had posted a favorites book video. I found a couple but I was not satisfied. I admire how intelligent and well spoken you are. I could listen to you forever. Thank you.
My favorite book is definitely Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl. But I really wanna check out your recommendations. Specially Attachment in Psychotherapy. Thank you. ^^
Hello. 2022 has been for me a year that I've changed a lot as a person in a good way. Among other things, I've started to read 20 books so far this year, which is way more than how much I usually read. My favourite book is Courage to be disliked, and I've seen your summary on your website while watching your video. I haven't read your whole summary, but I plan to do this very soon to compare your reflections with mine about this book.
As for a book recommendation, I always find intertextual connections following the points Betty Edwards makes in Drawing on the Artist Within. She gets into the 5 questions for Saturation. Questions so [creatively constructively] disruptive that she reworked them into the 4th Edition of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.
One i love but perhaps you know it, it definitely changed my life and perspective : non violent communication by Rosenberg... Empathy at its best... Its a great starting point for a change of perspective.
Great recommendations! That quote from "Love" was incredible. Since you seem to be into popular physics books, I'd like to recommend Existential Physics by Sabine Hossenfelder and Primacy of Doubt by the English physicist by Tim Palmer. In Primacy of Doubt, Palmer gives a sweeping account of uncertainty in many different areas of science, ranging from Climate to Quantum Physics. It's one of the most insightful pop physics books I've read.
I recommend “The gift of fear” by Gavin de Becker, it’s about learning how to read the survival signals and trusting your instinct to protect yourself from violence. Every woman should read it!
Thanks so much Lizi! 🥰 it was so inspirational, I will definitely pick up some of the books you mentioned! My favorite fictional books are „The song of Achilles“ and the series „The mirror visitor“ 😊 As for a non-fictional book, I really liked „This book will make you kinder“ :)
Just started watching your videos a few days ago and I find them rather unique. Realistic and heartfelt. I think a good topic for a video would be the difference between information and knowledge. How to prevent information overload. Young people always confuse the two.
Thanks for this video and sharing your thoughts and experiences. I recommending reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It is a controversial book for many and people have mixed views but I absolutely love it. It change my life and perspective towards life and my work. I’ve read it twice and re-read parts of it when I need to give myself a pep talk. It’s story based in philosophy about love, life, relationships, work ethic, business and more. I would love to hear your summary about this book.
Hello Elizabeth! Thank you for this overview. I decided to read again (adter neglecting it for years) thanks to your videos and how passionate you are about it. I’m sure that following you has had a great impact in my life, so thank you from the botton of my heart. Now, I want to recommend a trilogy I read years ago, and the thought of it still amazes me: These Dark Materials. It’s quite known, and now there’s a series about it too, but in the case you haven’t read it, I’ll just say I found it overwelmingly good and deep. It explores on so many cardinal aspects and issues of our world, while showing new magical universes. With this I wish you a great end of 2022. Take care
Hi Elizabeth! I'm from Brazil and I have to say that I absolutely love your recomendations and your youtube content ❤ From what I can see I'm sure you're going to fall in love with the book Flowers for Algernon (Daniel Keyes) I don't know if you already know or somebody already indicate it for you, but this is one of the MUST READ! I wish you all the best and thanks again for your inspiring videos!
....made it to the end-I'm definitely a nerd and feel seen ✨️ I think this broke a record for me with how many I'm putting on my list. Thank you so much for the wonderful recommendations 💕
Book recommendation: Wild, a journey from lost to found - especially if you're into hiking/mountaneering. Absolutely loved it, helped me through some tough times.
I currently read Little prince in Kazakh (which supposed to be my first language but sadly it isn't), and Les Misérables in English. Love languages. The next book is going to be on a science side 😌 in kazakh too. I think originally it's called happy hormones (?)
OMG that's so terrible to be a young nationalist! How do you think people in Switzerland or Belgium feel about their first language is not Swiss or Belgian?
Even though your speaking is really fast (for me :D), I understand every single word, you speak so clear! I'm learning English , and your channel is perfect for me.
Thank You Liz! I have my list to my next visit at Barnes & Noble XD and today I finally got: Organized Chaos! happy to finally read & listen your material, hope the first of many and maybe latter a physical version for that signing (yes I still with physicals XD). Please keep doing this, its a great way to me to spend time at work & running with your material. Now playing: audio version Organized Chaos.
I love the way you talk about productivity and work! It makes me feel so seen. Habits have never made sense for me. I have similar strategies for working on school/work projects but I really struggle with consistent exercise, cleaning my apartment, taking meds & those kinds of habits. How do you keep up with those areas of life in a way that works with your brain ?
Hello! First of all, very good video. I'm not a long time follower, but I thought you brought a more realistic approach to productivity. At least something I can somewhat relate to and not feel bad for not being a perfect human. I wanted to comment here because a lot of times, content creators bringing their personal choice for books has been the main point for me to stop following them. I think your favourite books chow who you truly are. For the first time I really have connected with your choices and I am very grateful for having you on this platform. I hope you have a nice day, and keep the good work. Thanks
I sincerely hope you don't mind. I just have to say you take my breath away...I feel like I'm on a cloud...seeing, listening and watching you. Love to meet you. Amazing.
Hey Elizabeth! I don't know if you are into movies, but following your recent love for science fiction, you should check Blade Runner 2049. It's a movie that goes deep into what it is to be a human and I got really surprised, there are also a ton of videos dissecting the meanings of the movie(my favorite is from the Like Stories of Old channel). Also, thanks for the recommendations!!!
I already have Still Born on my to-be-read list and can't wait to get it. It sounds very interesting. I had a good reading year and based on the books you have in this video, I think you might like these of my favorites from this year: - *The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis* - sci-fi about an extraterrestrial being who appears on Earth and in order to achieve its goals has to work with humans and our rules and moods and all that makes us human. Absolutely great book about what makes us human and how much we are shaped by our surroundings and the people around us. - *Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World by Hans Rosling* - 10 of the most common biases that make us misinterpret information and data. Eye-opening and easy to read. - *Consent by Vanessa Springora* - Memoir by a woman who had a relationship with a much older man when she was underaged. It's her way to come to terms with what happened. The base of the book is her asking if the fact that she gave consent to the relationship justifies its existence or not. It's not a nice read but it is very interesting.
If you're keen on more sci-fi as an exploration of human nature and society, read some Ursula Le Guin. I'd start with The Dispossessed or The Left Hand of Darkness
Book recommendation: "Love Drugs" by Brian Earp and Julian Savulescu should be your thing. It deals with ethical questions and implications of creating pharmaceutical means of "saving", "recovering" or "enhancing" feelings of "love" in a relationship.
I thought that intro was funny! 🤣 I was expecting something else. But thanks for the recommendations, I like reading all sorts of books, whenever I give myself time to read.
I'm starting to pick up my love for books and reading again cos I seemed to have lost it while I was still in school 😅 But I can definitely say that one of my favorite sci-fi middle-grade books that changed me during my teenage years was "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L' Engle. 🤗 Unfortunately I lost my own copy during the flood back then but now that I'm an earning adult, I just had to buy my own copy. :)
This is such a cool video! I loved the concept, the enthusiasm and that these books all sounded very intriguing, probably because we are very similar people. If I do end up reading one or more of these in 2023, I will let you know here (if I remember).
5 times trying to spell Csikszentmihalyi correctly made me laugh out laud😂. Showing this kind of vulnerability moment makes the video even more lovely to watch.
Some other sci-fi you could try (with a bit more depth than Star Wars lol) is The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet (or A Psalm For the Wild Built by the same author if you want something shorter), On the Edge of Gone, Parable of the Sower, or the Murderbot series. Or How Long Until Black Future Month for short stories. I’ve also heard good things about Ancillary Justice but haven’t gotten to it myself. In Fantasy, I think you would really enjoy Goblin Emperor. In history, I think everyone, especially people in the US, should read How the Word is Passed.
Elizabeth, thank you for the channel and the book recommendations. I have one question, I don't mean to be mean or insensitive, I'm genuinely curious: do you somewhat speed up your videos, or are you just naturally fast talker? I'm not a native English speaker and for some reason the sound in your videos sound to me as if they were sped up.
In relation to virtue... I've always said that a segment of our society knows not to put their hand in the cookie jar cuz they don't need a cookie while another segment always needs Mama's hand above the cookie jar to keep them from eating it... Some know what's right and do what's right, while others need consequences to doing wrong to stay on the right side.
Hey Elizabeth, I would really love to purchase your book 'Organised Chaos'- but I was wondering if there's any way I could possibly buy the audiobook alone, without the PDF or the Notion template? If not, then it would be useful to know what significance the Impatience Priming Notion template holds in relation to the book (please do correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe the reason for both coming together as a bundle is explained anywhere?) Thank you😌 P.S. just thought I'd add, your videos have helped me so much- please don't stop doing what you're doing!
Thank you for the book shared. In the recent years there has been a lot of independent writers publishing books about Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) is this a genre you're familiar with? Have you read any of those books? and have you found some surprising or memorable stories within those books?
11:26 love the recommendations 🎉 thank you, it was hard sometimes to understand the names of authors (not a critique, but you’re not only a speed reader but a champion speed speaker, too fast for me )
Hi Elizabeth!! I really can’t express how much I love your content, it is so well crafted and curated and the information you provide is mind blowing! Thanks for sharing! I wanted to ask you where did you learn to edit your videos so well? I would like to do that as well! Is there any course you would recommend to get my hands to it? Also, do you have a camera recommendation? Thank you!!! ❤
Hey Elizabeth, love your content I'm a bit of a nerd myself and definitely made it to the end. I really want to take a look at: The Untethered Soul, Organized Chaos, and Love, possiblity Creativity: The Psychology of Discovery but I'm a creative type so I'm not sure if that last one will be difficult reading.
Finished the whole video, I am now reading attachment in Psychotherapy thanks for the recommendation. My favourite book is The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
@4:10 Regarding SciFi: To me the points you mention are the difference between good SciFi and cheesy pop-SciFi. Most of the stuff in popular culture is the cheesy kind. When it's good, it can be really good. When it's bad, it can be really bad. Andy Weir is one of my new favorites. His books Artemis and The Martian are also excellent, though less philosophical. If you want some classic SciFi that goes deep into social taboos and norms, try Robert Heinlein's later stuff, especially Stranger in a Strange Land.

This one is especially for women who come from more conservative communities, most importantly for women who suffer imposter syndrome or sudden loss of ambition and motivation. Really, it can be read by anyone, but for women in this situation can just get so much out of it!
The passion that came with some of these reviews cannot be faked! I'll definitely be picking up a few on this list. Thanks Elizabeth!

She promotes to read several books in parallel. I also say to read them in different language in parallel to learn several languages at once!
OMG that's so terrible to be a young nationalist! How do you think people in Switzerland or Belgium feel about their first language is not Swiss or Belgian?
Also, love the edits in this video, especially the way those quotations are placed along with the authors picture!
Even though your speaking is really fast (for me :D), I understand every single word, you speak so clear! I'm learning English , and your channel is perfect for me.
@ElizabethFilips_ Aren't you a scammer, are you?
Thank You Liz! I have my list to my next visit at Barnes & Noble XD and today I finally got: Organized Chaos! happy to finally read & listen your material, hope the first of many and maybe latter a physical version for that signing (yes I still with physicals XD). Please keep doing this, its a great way to me to spend time at work & running with your material. Now playing: audio version Organized Chaos.
Thank you, Elizabeth 🙏
I love the way you talk about productivity and work! It makes me feel so seen. Habits have never made sense for me. I have similar strategies for working on school/work projects but I really struggle with consistent exercise, cleaning my apartment, taking meds & those kinds of habits. How do you keep up with those areas of life in a way that works with your brain ?
Hello! First of all, very good video. I'm not a long time follower, but I thought you brought a more realistic approach to productivity. At least something I can somewhat relate to and not feel bad for not being a perfect human.
I wanted to comment here because a lot of times, content creators bringing their personal choice for books has been the main point for me to stop following them. I think your favourite books chow who you truly are. For the first time I really have connected with your choices and I am very grateful for having you on this platform.
I hope you have a nice day, and keep the good work. Thanks
Thank you!
I sincerely hope you don't mind.
I just have to say you take my breath away...I feel like I'm on a cloud...seeing, listening and watching you.
Love to meet you.
Amazing.

I can't believe someone else is recommending Attachment in Psychotherapy!! Fully changed my life--it's so so good.
Thank you! Very inspiring book overviews! Book reviews - are probably the best part of the RUclips content.
The video I needed, thank you! I keep starting books that disappoint me. These look like the kind of books that I'll always come back to.
Learning keeps you young and slows down the aging process!
I really liked this list and your descriptions. I added some of these to my list and plan to get them. Now all there is left is to read them
Implementing the advice you talk about in your content is changing my life, dude.
Hey Elizabeth! I don't know if you are into movies, but following your recent love for science fiction, you should check Blade Runner 2049. It's a movie that goes deep into what it is to be a human and I got really surprised, there are also a ton of videos dissecting the meanings of the movie(my favorite is from the Like Stories of Old channel). Also, thanks for the recommendations!!!
Oh thank you! Will add it to the list!
I already have Still Born on my to-be-read list and can't wait to get it. It sounds very interesting.
I had a good reading year and based on the books you have in this video, I think you might like these of my favorites from this year:
- *The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis* - sci-fi about an extraterrestrial being who appears on Earth and in order to achieve its goals has to work with humans and our rules and moods and all that makes us human. Absolutely great book about what makes us human and how much we are shaped by our surroundings and the people around us.
- *Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World by Hans Rosling* - 10 of the most common biases that make us misinterpret information and data. Eye-opening and easy to read.
- *Consent by Vanessa Springora* - Memoir by a woman who had a relationship with a much older man when she was underaged. It's her way to come to terms with what happened. The base of the book is her asking if the fact that she gave consent to the relationship justifies its existence or not. It's not a nice read but it is very interesting.
I've just finished reading Saint-Exupery's 'The Little Prince'. It reminded me of the Nic Roeg film 'The Man Who Fell to Earth'.
i love looking at you and your passion, listening to your voice and the quality of your videos!
thank you! keep it up!
If you're keen on more sci-fi as an exploration of human nature and society, read some Ursula Le Guin. I'd start with The Dispossessed or The Left Hand of Darkness
Book recommendation: "Love Drugs" by Brian Earp and Julian Savulescu should be your thing. It deals with ethical questions and implications of creating pharmaceutical means of "saving", "recovering" or "enhancing" feelings of "love" in a relationship.
What are some of your favorite sneakers? I'm a minimalist just like you and need some recommendations
It's so nice to see you
You always inspire me to study 📖
You are the best female teacher I have ever met😊
Highly recommend the untethered soul too, life changing read
Ah good, another book-related video from yourself! I have a busy Christmas as far as reading is concerned now 😅📚 🤓
Eliz DEAR,I HAVE READ ALL THESE 13 BOOKS.I AM ALSO A BOOKWORM SAME LIKE YOU. YOUR CHOICE IS PERFECT.THANKS A LOT @::))🥰
I loooove when you do videos like this !!! (instead of productivity ones 😅) great quality content, love the recommendations :))
Great video, I went and bought 4 out of the 13 while watching the video. I love your summaries :)
❤ Thank you for sharing. Now that it is the holiday season, books make the best presents. Will look into some of your suggestions for gift ideas. ❤
The way you describe her at is probably the way I'd describe you for bringing these amazing ideas, insights and thoughts to me.
I thought that intro was funny! 🤣 I was expecting something else. But thanks for the recommendations, I like reading all sorts of books, whenever I give myself time to read.
I'm starting to pick up my love for books and reading again cos I seemed to have lost it while I was still in school 😅 But I can definitely say that one of my favorite sci-fi middle-grade books that changed me during my teenage years was "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L' Engle. 🤗 Unfortunately I lost my own copy during the flood back then but now that I'm an earning adult, I just had to buy my own copy. :)
This is such a cool video! I loved the concept, the enthusiasm and that these books all sounded very intriguing, probably because we are very similar people. If I do end up reading one or more of these in 2023, I will let you know here (if I remember).
5 times trying to spell Csikszentmihalyi correctly made me laugh out laud😂. Showing this kind of vulnerability moment makes the video even more lovely to watch.
Some other sci-fi you could try (with a bit more depth than Star Wars lol) is The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet (or A Psalm For the Wild Built by the same author if you want something shorter), On the Edge of Gone, Parable of the Sower, or the Murderbot series. Or How Long Until Black Future Month for short stories. I’ve also heard good things about Ancillary Justice but haven’t gotten to it myself. In Fantasy, I think you would really enjoy Goblin Emperor. In history, I think everyone, especially people in the US, should read How the Word is Passed.
I had to skip over the project hail mary part in case of spoilers lol. read Artemis and the Martian also. They are really good.
can we all take a minute to appreciate this creative editing ♥
Elizabeth, thank you for the channel and the book recommendations.
I have one question, I don't mean to be mean or insensitive, I'm genuinely curious: do you somewhat speed up your videos, or are you just naturally fast talker? I'm not a native English speaker and for some reason the sound in your videos sound to me as if they were sped up.
Ask and It Is Given!
In relation to virtue... I've always said that a segment of our society knows not to put their hand in the cookie jar cuz they don't need a cookie while another segment always needs Mama's hand above the cookie jar to keep them from eating it...
Some know what's right and do what's right, while others need consequences to doing wrong to stay on the right side.
Thank you so much. Have good day. I want to read these books. I hope so too much.
Hey Elizabeth, I would really love to purchase your book 'Organised Chaos'- but I was wondering if there's any way I could possibly buy the audiobook alone, without the PDF or the Notion template? If not, then it would be useful to know what significance the Impatience Priming Notion template holds in relation to the book (please do correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe the reason for both coming together as a bundle is explained anywhere?)
Thank you😌
P.S. just thought I'd add, your videos have helped me so much- please don't stop doing what you're doing!
Thank you for the book shared. In the recent years there has been a lot of independent writers publishing books about Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) is this a genre you're familiar with? Have you read any of those books? and have you found some surprising or memorable stories within those books?
You're such an inspiration. Thank you.
Sci-fi is one of the most interesting genres to explore scientific, technological, and cultural themes!
I like you too much and your way to teacher us.❤
11:26 love the recommendations 🎉 thank you, it was hard sometimes to understand the names of authors (not a critique, but you’re not only a speed reader but a champion speed speaker, too fast for me )
Hi Elizabeth!! I really can’t express how much I love your content, it is so well crafted and curated and the information you provide is mind blowing! Thanks for sharing! I wanted to ask you where did you learn to edit your videos so well? I would like to do that as well! Is there any course you would recommend to get my hands to it? Also, do you have a camera recommendation? Thank you!!! ❤
idk why but Elizabeth reminds me of all things home 😔
Hey Elizabeth, love your content I'm a bit of a nerd myself and definitely made it to the end. I really want to take a look at: The Untethered Soul, Organized Chaos, and Love, possiblity Creativity: The Psychology of Discovery but I'm a creative type so I'm not sure if that last one will be difficult reading.
Finished the whole video, I am now reading attachment in Psychotherapy thanks for the recommendation. My favourite book is The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
You’re when of the rarest people whom I would pay to get more content if theirs
Elizabeth, after watching this video, I think you would love reading more literary theory!
Thanks for this ❤
Cool, this looks like a useful must read list. The list seems like it has a nice balance to it.
Love your insights on these!
Suggestions for 2023: Middlemarch and all C.S. Lewis books, especially Surprised by Joy.
I'm in love with how you look and how you talk 😩😩
Book is the best friend. Thank you madam for your valuable suggestions.
@4:10 Regarding SciFi: To me the points you mention are the difference between good SciFi and cheesy pop-SciFi. Most of the stuff in popular culture is the cheesy kind. When it's good, it can be really good. When it's bad, it can be really bad. Andy Weir is one of my new favorites. His books Artemis and The Martian are also excellent, though less philosophical.
If you want some classic SciFi that goes deep into social taboos and norms, try Robert Heinlein's later stuff, especially Stranger in a Strange Land.
