Your antidote to a week of chaos.
Let’s get this pressing question out of the way. Why should you pay any mind to my book tastes?
- I have excellent taste. In books and booze.
- I read 100–125 books per year. For the past decade.
- I’m slightly smarter than average. Not exceedingly so mind you, but like a tad bit. And that’s enough.
Anyway, moving on to the important things. This was a GOOD week.
Here are the books I’m reading:
Non Obvious Megatrends: How to See What Others Miss and Predict the Future by Rohit Bhargava
4 out of 5 stars
“Introducing the highly awaited tenth edition of the Wall Street Journal bestseller and trend report featured ten bold new megatrend predictions that will shape our world in the coming decade.”
I have enjoyed Rohit’s Megatrends report for years so I was excited to get my hands on his latest book. In the back section he shows us from 2011-current how his trends have held up. You’ll get the warm fuzzies seeing that he’s accurate 90% of the time. I was interested in these trends less for business purposes and more for investing, but use it as you see fit.
Limitless: Core Techniques to Improve Performance, Productivity, and Focus by Jim Kwik
4 out of 5 stars
“For the last 25 years, Jim Kwik has helped everyone from celebrities to CEOs to students improve their memory, increase their decision-making skills, learn to speed-read, and unleash their superbrains.”
Jim is a fun guy to root for. Particularly because he suffered a brain injury as a child and really overcame it. I mean, he not only didn’t let it limit him, he far exceeds most expectations we have for humans. The book becomes part cheerleader, part science and part actionable items. You can’t go wrong with that setup.
