The best books that I read this year were Bad Blood by John Carreyrou (this book is about Theranos and is absolutely insane, it reads like a thriller) Educated by Tara Westover (this is a fascinating memoir about a woman who was raised by fundamentalists and "escaped" to BYU) The Undoing Proect by Michael Lewis (about the relationship between Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky and their research together) The Rise and Fall of DODO by Neal Stephenson (I love all of his books)

The classic Clean Code by Robert C. Martin <- probably won't learn much new, but worth it, just to let the concepts reenter your consciousness. The Secret War Against the Jews by John Loftus <- Changed the way I think about inner workings of the government. But at the same time, many claims are hard to verify. The life changing magic of cleaning up by Marie Kondo <- not life changing but decent and a quick, 2-3 day read. Nassim Taleb books, pretty sure everyone on here read it or plans to so, don't need my description. Halfway through The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis at the moment, it's pretty good, a joint biography of Kahneman and Tversky (of the "Thinking, Fast and Slow", which I guess is another HN classic).
