Outlive – Peter Attia
Date Read: September 06, 2023. Rating: 9 / 10I learnt so much from this book. It's a great (and long) read on how to improve your overall health span – an objective that Peter lays out for Medicine 3.0. I took away lot of fundamental knowledge on improving my health from this book and more importantly to not lose track of also caring for emotional health.

Good Strategy Bad Strategy – Richard Rumelt
Date Read: August 24, 2022. Rating: 8 / 10A classic strategy book. Easy to read and this would be my first recommendation for someone who wants to build a strong base in strategic thinking. This book is covered with a plethora of examples where organizations failed at their strategy, and where some excelled.

Psychology of Money – Morgan Housel
Date Read: January 03, 2021. Rating: 9 / 10Morgan Housel defines 'Psychology of Money' as "a soft skill where how you behave is more important than what you know." It's been one of my favorite books of 2020. From exploring what wealth/money means to us, to why we make decisions managing our finances. There's a lot of broad wisdom shared in this book and the principles can definitely help people reading it improve their behaviors/outlook on personal finance.
