Most recent first since the year of 2026. Ratings are how much the book was worth my time, not how good it objectively is.

1984by George Orwell5/5

June 2026

Start with Whyby Simon Sinek3/5
Paused
Hit a wall when the book over-analyzed Apple's 'meaning.' I don't buy Apple products for an identity thesis. I buy them for sheer convenience. While Sinek's core premise makes sense, the supporting evidence feels noticeably dated today. Not sure if I want to come back to this book.
Stolen Focusby Johann Hari4/5
The Thinking Machineby Stephen Witt4.5/5

April 2026

A Brief History of Intelligenceby Max Solomon Bennett5/5
Paused
A fantastic read, right up until it hit the 47% mark and went deep into complex neuroscience and the aPFC. Currently on pause, but I fully intend to return and tackle the rest.
