Venture Capital Strategy: How to Think Like a Venture Capitalist was pretty informative and helped with a foundation-level of insight for understanding csuite decisions when working at portfolio companies. Will also help if I ever decide to start building a company and need funding.
The Backyard Adventurer by Beau Miles was fantastic, highly recommend watching his fanatic vlogs too. I was also inspired to start reading Steinbeck from him, starting with Tortilla Flat and then East of Eden. Beautiful stories that I didn't give time of day to in school.

Trevor Noah's Born a Crime is a delightful read. It's serious yet funny at the same time.

" The Top Five Regrets of the Dying" ... hearing it for the first time and Amazoned it. Appears a good read! Thanks for introducing me to this book 🌞
@lead_balloon @sanat_mohanty I wish we had such books in schools and prepare the young world to be strong from young.

Possibly my geeky side may show here but I've devoured several Jane Austen books (Pride and Prejudice for the third time, Emma and Persuasion) and I want to finish the year with Les Miserables but I still have a good chunk of it to go.
