Becoming Mixed on
Former first lady. Well written. Some really interesting parts. Some not-so-interesting parts. What else is there to say?

Educated Mixed on
Don’t get me wrong, it’s very good and a great story. But much like Hillbilly Elegy a few years ago, I was left wondering, “What’s everyone going on about?”

Greenlights Recommends
I was impressed with the depth and insight in this memoir. I hate to say it, but you rarely expect much from celebrity books. This one delivered though.

Why We Sleep Mixed on
A flawed but really useful book. Some of the data here is exaggerated, it appears.

Shoe Dog Recommends
A must-read for anyone who wants to start a business, has started a business, wishes they started a business or has ever thought about starting a business.

Born a Crime Loved
The Three-Body Problem Loved
It’s one of the best fiction experiences I’ve ever had in my life. A stunning achievement. And a must-read for anyone who is even remotely into sci-fi or nerdy space science stuff.

Thinking, Fast and Slow Liked
Still the definitive book on cognitive biases and behavioral economics.

Why Liberalism Failed Mixed on
Brilliant but flawed. Deneen tried to argue that the ideals of the western enlightenment are ultimately self-defeating. I think he was onto something, but I don’t think he totally got his argument straightened out.

Skin in the Game Mixed on
Strangely, it’s in maybe Taleb’s worst book that I found him the most tolerable?

Lost Connections Mixed on
Useful and interesting read. Touching at times. But as an academic work, it’s flawed.

Isaac Newton Loved
Just a really, really well-written biography. And of arguably the most important man in history.

Barking Up the Wrong Tree Liked
A fun romp through a lot of counter-intuitive studies and data on success , happiness , relationships , etc.

Enlightenment Now Disliked
Optimism porn. I’m a bona fide Pinker fanboy, but was disappointed with this, for a few reasons.

Obliquity Disliked
One of those business books (and there are many) that you can get the main idea within the first 20 pages and can stop reading there. I skimmed through most of it.

Payback Mixed on
Brilliant for stretches but also kind of weird and rambly for stretches as well. A very uneven book, but the great moments make the others worth it

The Righteous Mind Mixed on
This is the only one I’m not crazy about. My academic BS detector got tripped a few times while reading it, and it turns out that there are a number of better measurements emerging in moral psychology.

Stillness Is the Key Recommends
But the book was great, the best out of all his stoicism books, in my opinion.

Exhalation: Stories Loved
And the title story, “Exhalation,” is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read.
