Books & Reading
I enjoy reading. A lot. It has mostly been physical books, but then e-books made it very convenient to read on the go. It took a while but I've gotten comfortable with Audiobooks too. I'm essentially consuming content whenever I am able to slot in time.
Typically I end up reading 2-3 books in a month. More recently, with a lot of research papers getting added in to the mix, pure book count might fluctuate, but the amount of reading has stayed fairly high.
I'll list some recently consumed books that might be worth checking out.
In no particular order.

I've found the lindy effect to be true and strong. Books or concepts that have been around and continue to do so have accelerated my learning and understanding journey as I grow older and can actually internalize and relate to much more of the messages the books carry.
