Rational Optimist
By Matt Ridley | 2025-02-12
I certainly had a predisposition to idealize the past utopia, while denouncing the presumed darkness that technology and innovation brought. Perhaps, I was overlooking all the good it has done in terms of standard of living. Today I am able to afford things that only a few rich could afford in the past centuries. This book corrected a serious error in my thinking. Absolutely loved it! The twenty first century is a magnificent time to be alive.

By Arnold Schwarzenegger | 2024-10-12
A really motivating read. Second part has some really great insights on hypertrophy.
The Almanack of Naval Ravikant
By Eric Jorgenson | 2024-09-20
A compilation of all of Naval's wisdom in one book. Some content is redundant if you have already listened to his podcasts. But still worth reading.
