by Jonathan Haidt · April 2025

Very interesting data-driven view into how people view politics, religion, and other socially-conflicted subjects.

Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World
by Malcolm Harris · March 2025

History part was great. Rest was information I already knew for the most part - did not finish past page 300.

9/10
Steve Jobs

Great account of his life with exclusive interviews. Goes very deep.

9/10
Thinking, Fast and Slow
by Daniel Kahneman · Jan 2025

Great read, but harder to follow and engage with for longer periods of time. Reads more like a research paper.

8/10
Elon Musk
by Walter Isaacson · Nov 2024

Great account of a story still very much not over.

8.5/10
Shoe Dog
by Phil Knight · September 2024

Great easy read from Phil Knight, how his early unique life experiences culminated into Nike's founding.

8/10
Atomic Habits
by James Clear · Sep 2023

This one gets so much praise, and it's good, but I felt I didn't take away much other than to be consistent.

6/10
Coach Wooden and Me
by Kareem Abdul Jabbar · March 2023

Highly underrated book (most people don't know how intellectual Kareem was). Incredible story of 2 legends' lives.

9/10
The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem
by Nathaniel Branden · Feb 2023

Classic for a reason - psychologists still use this now. Must read for anyone interested in understanding how they feel about themselves.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People
by Stephen Covey · Dec 2022

I remember it being very good but didn't retain much. Need to re-read.
