Chasing the Scream

These are a mixture of audio books and paperbacks I've been reading. I'm listening to more and more audiobooks via audible as it allows me to keep learning new stuff whilst travelling or doing simple household jobs. Anyways. Here are a few of my best of I've read/listened to this year: Dictators Handbook by Bruce De Mesquita and Alastair Smith - Very interesting theories on power structures. History of western philosophy by Bertrand Russel - I love my history. And it was fascinating seeing how ideas/thoughts/thinking have evolved over the centuries. America the Farewell tour by Chris Hedges - Very interesting ideas and points of view. A tough read at times. I really hope it some part of the book doesn't come true. Chasing the Scream by Johanne Hari - Good history of the war on drugs, the cost and its futility. I've read more but these are my top 5 of 2018

- Tetris: The Games People Play by Box Brown - Tibet, Tibet by Patrick French - Maya: A Novel by CW Huntington, Jr - The Science of Enlightenment by Shinzen Young - Flask Web Development by Miguel Grinberg - Buddha's Diet by Tara Cottrell - A Feast of Vultures by Josy Joseph - Genghis Khan: Life, Death and Resurrection by John Man - Chasing the Scream by Johann Hari - Cuckold by Kiran Nagarkar - Goliath by Tom Gauld - This Will Never Happen Again by David Cain - Cure by Jo Marchant - If It’s Monday It Must Be Madurai: A Conducted Tour of India by Srinath Perur - Deep Work by Cal Newport - Enduring Love by Ian McEwan - The Soul of an Octopus by Sy Montgomery - The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt - The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion and a few others that aren't worth recommending; all the above are.
