Here it’s my readings over the last years. The rating reflects my personal favorites. Who knows, you may find here a book that will change your mind!
I am always hunting for great books (any topic!). So, don’t hesitate to recommend me your favorites!
P.S.: Currently I am taking a break from reading. As Tim Ferriss said, “being busy is a form of laziness”. I felt like too much reading kept my brain busy, and thus I had little time to think.
