In no particular order:

    Impro: Improvisation and the Theatre (Keith Johnstone)
    The Master and His Emissary (Iain McGilchrist et al.)
    Emissary’s guide to worlding (Ian Cheng)
Black Swan by NNT already recommended elsewhere in the thread.

I want to go off-topic and recommend a non-book, Learning to Fly by Missing the Ground[0] (Venkatesh Rao).

And further off the topic, the discussions in The Midnight Gospel were the closest to qualifying as mind-bending experience recently.

The Midnight Gospel is insanely good. It's the best thing I've watched in a long time.

I'm a huge fan of Adventure Time so I was really excited when I heard about it, but the trailer is just full of gross imagery and I expected it to be just another stupid gross-for-gross-sake cartoon that I'd probably stop watching after a few episodes. So wrong.

second this. I stumbled over it few months ago and keep thinking that I must re-read it soon. love it


Master and Emissary is way better than thinking fast and slow
