Pyschology of Money, Morgan Housel
My favorite book about money. I re-read some chapters from time to time. Some of my favorite notes from the book:
- Manage your money in a way that helps you sleep at night.
- The form of wealth is the ability to wake up every morning and say: "I can do whatever I want today".
- Room for error: the most important part of any plan is planning on your plan not going according to plan.
Working Backwards, Colin Bryar
One of my favorite books of all time. A Lot of intersting stories about tech products either invocation like (AWS, Kindle, Prime) or failure like (Fire Phone, Fire TV). I am fascinated by how did Jeff Bezos with his team build the culture(Customer Obession) with many other principles like Bar Raiser, 2 Pizza Team, PR/FAQ, 6 Pages Memo. However the wroking backwards is the most compelling concept. I loved the concept of writing the press release before starting the project.
Good to Great, Jim Collins I loved the flywheel concept and the hedgehog concept.
Never Split the Difference, Chris Voss
The Atomic Habits, James Clear I loved the concept of "Small, incremental changes can lead to big results over time".

A great book for how to get traction by many ways and what would be the trade-off between each method.

Super Thinking, Gabriel Weinberg A Heavy book. A lot of fallcies, biases and mental models. I loved the concept of inversion.
The Secret Lives of Introverts, Jenn Granneman

The game development industry is so wild and hard I read the first 5 chapters and then I lost interest.
