The best ideas are often ones someone else has already figured out. I read to learn from them, challenge my thinking, and keep growing. Here's a collection of books and ideas I've picked up along the way. Click any cover for my notes and favorite quotes.

How I rate books

I rate books by the value they gave me, not how long I spent with them. Some are worth a skim, some are worth studying, and a few I keep coming back to.

★★★★★ Exceptional. Changed how I think. I'll return to it. ★★★★ Excellent. Big ideas I'd readily recommend. ★★★ Good. Worthwhile, with useful takeaways. ★★ Fair. A few good ideas, limited impact. ★ Poor. Little lasting value.
