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

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.

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

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

I enjoyed this much more than expected. It was a breath of fresh air against the specialization hustle culture we’ve all gotten sucked into.

Source Code by Bill  Gates
Source Code: My Beginnings
by Bill Gates (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
I found this a great and inspiring read. As many autobiographies do, it brushed over many conflicts and wrote with an optimistic tint, but it was a quick read and fun to watch Gates' early business ventures. I also appreciate that this is just one of ...more

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez
Rate this book
Clear rating
I found One Hundred Years of Solitude difficult to be engrossed in as a casual reader who was reading every few days. Almost all of the characters were related to each other, and had similar names, so I often mixed them up. The plot moved slowly and ...more

Feel-Good Productivity by Ali  Abdaal

Enjoyable and relatively quick read with lots of interesting insights that I think will help me going forward. My main beef with the book is actually with its style rather than substance. The organization / general flow of the book is fine. but it is ...more
