Continuing my annual "Books I read" series, here's what I read last year:
Calculated risks: How to know when numbers deceive you, by Gerd Gigerenzer.
Risk Savvy: How to make good decisions, by Gerd Gigerenzer. Yes, another book on risks by the same author.
The real crash: America's coming bankruptcy-- how to save yourself and your country by Peter Schiff. And another one on risk (although a bit different from the earlier two) from the person who had warned about the subprime crisis in 2006 and was laughed out of the room.
Leadership on the line: Stay Alive through the dangers of change, by Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky. This was a recommended leading for a leadership off-site and training.
Spaceman: an astronaut's unlikely journey to unlock the secrets of the universe, by Mike Massimino.
Scale: the universals laws of growth, innovation, sustainability, and the pace of life in organisms, cities, economies, and companies, by Geoffrey West.
A Geek in Japan: Discovering the land of Manga, Anime, Zen, and the Tea Ceremony, by Hector Garcia.
Algorithms to live by: the computer science of human decisions, by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths.
Originals: How non-conformists move the world, by Adam Grant. This was a recommended reading for another leadership off-site.
Misbehaving: the making of behavioral economics, by Richard Thaler. (2017 Nobel Economics winner).
Behave, the biology of humans at our best and worst, by Robert Sapolsky.
The gene: an intimate history, by Siddhartha Mukherjee. A science book written like a thriller.
Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow.
The New Financial Order: Risk in the 21st Century by Robert Shiller (2013 Nobel Economics Winner, who shared it with Eugene Fama and Lars Hansen)
Hillbilly Eligy: a memoir of a family and culture in crisis by JD Vance. This is probably the best book I read last year. Explained a lot!
Sapiens: A brief history of humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
Sufi Poetry: Prophecy and the Persian Sufi poets by Hazrat Inayat Khan.
My Early Life: 1874-1904, Winston Churchill
