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
