How Big Things Get Done by Bent Flyvbjerg
Rate this book
Clear rating
This book was fantastic. Short but with a very high insight to word-count ratio, and very data heavy. It is clear that the author had the opportunity to turn this into a typical 300+ page rambling non-fiction book and decided he had something better ...more

The Everything War by Dana Mattioli
Rate this book
Clear rating
Well written and informative book on the rise of Amazon and some of its tactics. Enjoyable read, but did feel front-loaded with far more content in the early years than the most recent ones. Also did feel somewhat one-sided given current Amazon execu ...more

Mergers and Acquisitions For Dummies by Bill Snow
Rate this book
Clear rating
A solid, if oversimplified book that is a good intro to M&A from a company (i.e., non investment banker) perspective. Had a few useful tidbits that seemed unique, and was easy to read. Somewhat repetitive and stretched for content in a few places, bu ...more

Subtract by Leidy Klotz

Clear rating
While the main concept and a few datapoints in this were interesting, I found it lacking substance and concrete examples. The climate change section also felt half-baked and thrown in at the last minute. I expect Klotz will write an amazing book in a ...more

The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins
Rate this book
Clear rating
Quick read with some good wisdom and practical takeaways, but a lot of it is not terribly original and just adapted from Buddhism. Worth a read but not worthy of five stars in my opinion.

The Life Cycle of a CEO by Claudius A Hildebrand
Rate this book
Clear rating
I found this book immensely interesting and enlightening, even for someone not interested in being a CEO. It would be useful for research analysts or those evaluating investments as an outsider, and those looking to manage either a company or divisio ...more

There were some great nuggets at the start but this quickly turned painfully repetitive.

Be Useful by Arnold Schwarzenegger
Rate this book
Clear rating
It was short, and an easy read with a few tidbits I enjoyed. There were some new stories and perspectives I hadn’t heard from Arnold, but a lot of it was relatively generic and felt somewhat ghost written. Worth an afternoon if you’re a big Arnold fa ...more

Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson
Leonardo da Vinci
by Walter Isaacson (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
I found this book overrated. It felt less like a biography and more like a glorified art history study of Leonardo. I think it could've been far shorter, with less detail on Leonardo's paintings and more on his life and routines. ...more
