Zero to one The lean startup The 4-hour workweek The subtle art of not giving a f*ck -- What I've found out, biographies are the best thing for me because I always want to know what happens next, but I also learn invaluable lessons from the biographee (just googled this term now and it exists!), so it's a nice mix of story and self-help

1. Born a Crime (audiobook) by Trevor Noah is an entertaining yet thought-provoking listen 2. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell (just gives a different perception to success all together, at least did for me) 3. Mastery (Robert Greene) - can be dismissed as Anecdotes but really powerful ones 4. Deep Work (Cal Newport) - a guy who doesn't like to be on social media and I found reading about him and stumbled upon this and it's absolutely an insightful read 5. The subtle art of not giving a fk - This is a short, beautiful and an amazing read even if you aren't looking for self improvement

1. Fermat's Enigma: The Epic Quest to Solve the World's Greatest Mathematical Problem - I've been on a giant math books kick. I really enjoyed Simon Singh's other book, The Code Book, so this one is awesome. 2. The Code Book - If you're really into the history of cryptography, this book is for you. 3. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck - Not a really a revelatory book by any sorts. But a fun read. 4. The Handmaid's Tale - Revisiting this since the TV series came out and I really felt like getting traumatized all over again.

Fiction: 1. Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes because it's so beautifully written and made me experience a flood of emotions. 2. The Little Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Again, a very touching, charming book about a little kid's world(universe?) view, told through his adventures. Non-fiction: 1. The subtle art of not giving a F*ck - Mark Manson Opened my eyes to what I was possibly doing wrong with my life. 2. Radical Acceptance - Tara Brach Still currently reading it, but I wish I'd found it earlier.
