As is often the case, college courses turned into books tend to cover old ground.

Third Millennium Thinking by Saul Perlmutter
Rate this book
Clear rating
A work that came out of a university course, I don't think it merited a book. Despite the title, there is nothing new here. If you have read widely in the decision making/problem solving area, most of the content will be familiar to you. ...more

The Beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch

It's not a bad book, but it fails to fully satisfy. It reminded me of books by Steven Pinker. Very bright authors have the challenge of getting across ideas clearly. Limiting how much information they share. Too many concepts make it difficult to tra ...more

Why We Die by Venki Ramakrishnan
Rate this book
Clear rating
An interesting read. Not too full of science jargon, which makes most of it understandable for non-scientists. Pursuing living longer has limited value since societies are struggling to support the longer life expectancy we already experience.

Being You by Anil Seth

The author is obviously passionate about Consciousness, but this book reinforces the challenges academics have in clearly communicating their ideas. At times rambling, it often feels like a university lecture with thoughts tumbling onto the page, whi ...more

The author does a commendable job in outlining a different location for the battle from the traditional site. Until there is archaeology providing further insight, the location of the battle will remain an open question. I agree that Battle Abbey sho ...more

Great book. Full of insights it illuminates the many paths available to pursue things larger than what we believe we are capable of achieving.

The Algebra of Happiness by Scott Galloway

The ‘what I have learned in life’ genre has been popular over the last years, especially from professors. This book is ok. Not badly written but the content is not going to give you insights you haven’t come across elsewhere. In this crowded market f ...more
