2021

  1. The complete works of H.P. Lovecraft2/10 - Do not read. I finished it only so I could provide a review with complete information. It's a 2 instead of a 1 because it has historical value.
  2. My 2020 Book listI consumed 32 books and lecture series in 2020. Here is the list and what I thought of each book.

2020

  1. Designing Your Life7/10 - I like the techniques proposed in this book, but it feels like the authors are trying to sell me on something throughout the book, which was a bit off-putting.
  2. The Time Paradox8/10 - This book has a very useful mental model, and it has helped me identify and artculate things that I like and dislike about myself and others.
  3. Hell Yeah or No by Derek Sivers8/10 - This book spoke to me, and I found it both cathartic and inspiring to read. But it didn't pack the same punch as Your Music and People
  4. Your Music and People by Derek Sivers10/10 - This is now on my yearly reading list. This book is relevant to anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur or an artist of any sort. Super concise. Very articulate
  5. Breath by James Nestor8/10 - There was a lot of interesting information in this book, and it provides a good overview of many techniques for breathing
  6. My philosophy of book reviewsI read a lot of books, and wanted a different way of talking about them.
  7. On the utility of generalistsI recently moved from a larger company to a smaller company, and noticed some differences in where and how generalists were useful.
  8. On Remote WorkRemote work is a big topic during COVID, and as someone who has worked mostly remotely for almost 10 years, I wanted to write down my thoughts.
