Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media
Such a great and timely book given the times we are living through. A deep exploration of the history and importance of free speech, and the constant back and forth between more authoritarian and more free societies throughout history.
Thinking in Bets
This book was recommended by one of my favorite podcasts and I absolutely loved it. Great mindset shift for me to move from thinking in binary to thinking in probabilities. Highly recommend this one!
Harry Bosch Series
I started reading this series during COVID and finished all of the books except the most recent over the course of 18 months or so. The TV series on Amazon Prime is excellent, as well as the spinoff on Netflix called “The Lincoln Lawyer.”
Zealot – The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth

Mission: Black List #1 – The Inside Story of the Search for Saddam Hussein

Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup
One of the best business biographies I’ve ever read, Bad Blood is a MUST-READ. From literally three minutes in, you will be hooked and not be able to put it down. I listened to this book for about 8 hours straight. It’s so good that my 14-yr old son started listening about half way through […]
Leonardo DaVinci
I read this after seeing it on Bill Gates’ summer reading list and it did not disappoint. I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read from Isaacson and this was no exception to say the least. I highly recommend the audio version of this book as it’s really long and perfect for long drives. I learned a ton […]
