Books that shaped my thinking. Updated occasionally.

by Harper Lee
A classic tale of racial injustice and loss of innocence in the American South. A powerful story about courage, empathy, and standing up for what's right.

A chilling portrayal of a totalitarian future society. Orwell's vision remains hauntingly relevant to discussions of surveillance, truth, and freedom.

An interesting study on how the best of humanity got their start. Explores the hidden factors behind extraordinary success — culture, timing, opportunity.
The Time Keeper

A deep fictionalization of our priorities in life and how we treat the time we get. A beautiful reminder to appreciate every moment.
Steve Jobs

A timeless coming-of-age story exploring teenage alienation and the loss of innocence in post-war America. Still resonates decades later.
