Some of the books i've read

(and maybe recommend...)

The Truths We Hold: An American Journey book cover

The Truths We Hold: An American Journey

by Kamala Harris

My takeaway: In The Truths We Hold, Kamala Harris showcases her relentless commitment to justice and challenging the status quo with an inspiring, hands-on approach. Her drive to push for change within a system resistant to reform highlights her perseverance. The book is great overall, but it would have been even more impactful if she had reflected on areas where things didn’t work out, offering a more balanced view of her journey in navigating the complexities of government, as we know it.

Ambition Monster: A Memoir book cover

Ambition Monster: A Memoir

by Jennifer Romolini

My takeaway: This book explores the costs of climbing the corporate ladder, especially rapid ascent, and how trauma often fuels workaholism. It goes further to highlight the danger of chasing external validation and the toxicity of overwork. Of course, ambition itself isn’t all bad- it can be meaningful when channeled intentionally and with purpose. There’s a need for balance, reflection, and mindful direction in ambition.

How Big Things Get Done

by Bent Flyvbjerg

My takeaway: The book underscores that successful projects require careful planning and patience. Psychological factors and power dynamics shape all projects. Embracing "think slow, act fast," questioning project goals, and prioritizing modularity and iteration lead to better outcomes. By applying these principles, projects can be more effective and less prone to failure.
