SapiensTheir words
number one is Sapiens. Um, you if you're a product person, you have to understand uh our own humanity if you want to build products for people straight up. That's that's that's a beautiful book. I read it before it was called Sapiens. It was called uh from animals to gods uh and it was just republished a different name, but it has really stuck with me and I remember it's a very short easy read. So, I I'd recommend that.

The Silk RoadsTheir words
It's called The Silk Roads um uh by Peter Franco and basically this is a recounting of history through the lens of the Silk Road and and sort and the Middle East and how how that's evolved. It's so fascinating because one of the things I love, Lenny, is seeing things from different perspectives. This is why travel's fun. This is why like, you know, user research is fun for me. And it really helps you see the events of world history that we've all been experiencing through a very western view uh viewpoint in a in a different way. And it kind of connects a bunch of things that are like, you know, there's western thought, there's eastern thought, but if you see the connection between them, it's super fascinating. I'm only two chap three or maybe four chapters in, but definitely something I would recommend

And And I just I guess there's just so many TV shows now that are I'm still processing, do I want to put it in my all-time great, but the storytelling there and the v the various different sort of consistent characters, but the fact that there's the beautiful writing of The Wire is something that's unparalleled.
