Books

by Simon Sinek

Sinek explores why some teams trust each other deeply and others don't. It reframed how I think about leadership — not as authority, but as the willingness to put your people first. A must-read for anyone managing teams or building culture.

by James Clear

The most practical book on behavior change I've come across. Clear breaks down how tiny, compounding habits shape who we become. I still use the "habit stacking" technique daily.

by Lisa Feldman Barrett

Barrett's research challenges everything we assume about emotions being hardwired. Instead, she shows how the brain constructs them — which changes how you think about self-awareness and communication. Deeply eye-opening.

by Daniel Kahneman

Kahneman's masterpiece on the two systems that drive how we think. It permanently changed how I evaluate decisions — both in engineering and in life. Dense but absolutely worth the effort.

by Michael Lewis

A gripping story about high-frequency trading and the people who tried to level the playing field. Lewis makes complex market structure feel like a thriller. Essential reading for anyone interested in how modern markets really work.

by Robert Kiyosaki

The book that shifts your mindset from "work for money" to "make money work for you." It's not a technical finance guide — it's a philosophy book about financial independence. Read it early, benefit from it forever.

by Jean M. Twenge

Twenge uses decades of large-scale data to map how each generation — from Boomers to Gen Z — differs in values, mental health, work habits, and worldview. It's not opinion; it's charts. A sobering, clarifying lens on why people think so differently depending on when they grew up.

by Aditya Bhargava

The most approachable algorithms book ever written. Bhargava uses illustrations and clear examples to make concepts like dynamic programming and graph search genuinely fun. Perfect for visual learners and interview prep alike.
