Resource to Recommend
The Anthropocene Reviewed - John Green
Everybody is constantly consuming content. What sets apart the great leaders and learners is their ability to find the needles of quality in the overwhelming haystack of information out there.
Here are a few of the pieces of content I’ve enjoyed recently.
Exhalation - Ted Chiang
Think Like A Rocket Scientist - Ozan Varol
Story Genius - Lisa Cron
The Code Breaker - Walter Isaacson
The Mortification of Sin - John Owen
The Last Lecture - Randy Pausch
Becoming - Michelle Obama
Bird by Bird - Anne Lamott
Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art - James Nestor
The Infinite Game - Simon Sinek
Billy Summers - Stephen King
For me, I’ve enjoyed getting back into biographies, and Walter Isaacson is one of the best. His work on Jennifer Doudna and the genome editing revolution was inspired and a bit harrowing.
I also was deeply moved by Breath by James Nestor. It was practical, intense, and full of interesting ideas and theories that I hadn’t really spent much time considering.
I’ll always be a fan of good fiction and Stephen King is one of the best writers I’ve read when it comes to capturing a particular emotion (usually horror) with clarity.
Finally, The Last Lecture was something I stumbled upon randomly but that I was very grateful for. It’s a short book that I think most would benefit from reading.
