Books

Here are my favorite books. I sorted them into broad categories by name. If we share common interests, feel free to add me on Goodreads.

There are a few categories that are somewhat missing. The first is for political books; I usually listen to them instead of reading them in print because they often lack lasting value worthy of shelf space or recommending. The second is for self-help books. Although motivating, I tend to forget their advice or don’t apply it regularly. I believe the recommended philosophy books provide more substantial self-help insights than some popular self-help series.
