What I'm Currently reading 📖
These books are currently shaping my thinking.
I'm usually reading anywhere between two to five books at a time. A few years ago, I was a devoted, kindle-only fanatic, but during the pandemic, I fell in love with paperbacks and hardcovers again.
I usually reserve buying "real" books, as some might call them, for the ones I really expect to be profound texts that I'll enjoy keeping in my home library. Oftentimes, I'll also give these out.
You can find some of the impressions written up in my .books category and the pipeline of the ones yet to be written on my Goodreads page.
Here's a list of what's currently in my reading arsenal (updated December 27th, 2023):
- Scarcity Brain: Fix Your Craving Mindset and Rewire Your Habits to Thrive with Enough by Michael Easter
- understanding what drives the cycle of doom-scrolling, constant cravings, and the relentless drive for more.
- Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon by Michael Lewis.
- the story about SBF (Sam Bankman-Fried) of FTX
- The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Achieving More with Less by Richard Koch
- yes, you can re-discover and learn new ideas about the 80/20 principle!
- Think Big: Take Small Steps and Build the Future You Want by Dr. Grace Lordan
- I heard a lot of praise for this book but haven't found good value yet. Perhaps it's waiting for the right moment.
- Sun Tzu's Art of War: The Modern Chinese Interpretation by General Tao Hanzhang
- interpreted by a Chinese General, one of the architects of the Communist Revolution
- Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha by Tara Brach
- as recommended by Tim Ferriss, this is a wonderful book when you need to do some soul-searching and grounding.
