books
An incomplete and unordered list of books that I've read. Those highlighted in green are books I thought were particularly great, whereas those in blue are for books I thought were above average.
- 2016"The ability to perform deep work is becoming increasingly rare at exactly the same time it is becoming increasingly valuable in our economy. As a consequence, the few who cultivate this skill, and then make it the core of their working life, will thrive."
- 2019"A philosophy of technology in which you focus your online time on a few carefully selected activities that support the things you value."

- 2021We’re cacti in a rainforest. Overstimulated and in a state of chronic dopamine depletion. Eye opening book.
-
- 2018Identity -> systems -> outcomes. Pretty great book for those looking to build better habits and stick to them.

-
- 2002Good if you’re a chronic procrastinator and want a unique perspective of this behavior.

-
- 2008Forever impressed at the story and impact of this technology.

- 2018After looking for practical resources on stoicism, I read that CBT points to Greek Stoicism for inspiration. A good book to encourage rational thinking by using logic to face difficulties.
- 1922A book about a mans journey in the quest for self-discovery and enlightenment. Siddhartha leaves his comfortable life to find answers. The book explores the human spirit with a focus on exploration. It’s hard not to put yourself in Siddhartha’s shoes throughout every chapter.
- 2018Forget what you thought about the world. This book gives the reader an updated and more optimistic lense to view the world through.
- 1988Similar to Siddhartha where the reader follows the protagonist on a journey through self-discovery. A core message of overcoming ones limiting beliefs is reinforced throughout the book. Navigating the world can be difficult; ’The Alchemist’ teaches the reader that they’ll be protected if they direct their energy towards their life’s purpose.
