Goodreads asked Josh Hillis:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

Josh Hillis This summer, so far I've been reading Prosocial, and amazing book by Atkins, Wilson, and Hayes, about using Nobel Prize winning group design principles to create high performance equitable groups. It blows my mind. Pretty much everything I'd been taught about economics and group behavior was based on faulty assumptions. Add in, on top of that, a world leading evolutionary biologist *and* a world leading psychologist, and it's quite a book.

For fiction, I'm reading Ship of Magic, by Robin Hobb. I'm a huge Brandon Sanderson fan, but I read my way through all of the Stormlight Archive and Mistborn books, so I've been looking for a new author. I cranked through Robin Hobb's Assassin's Apprentice trilogy and loved it. So, I think I have a new author to follow! Ship of Magic is the first book in the second trilogy. I like it, but I felt like it started rrrrreeeeeaaaaaaalllly slowly. I'm 279 pages into it, now, and just starting to really get into it.

I just barely have started How to Be an Anti-Racist, by Ibrim X. Kendi.

Last book on the list, for this summer, is True Refuge, by Tara Brach.
