Absolute legend. Brave, funny, and heroic.

I love this guy's blog posts. While I do think his style is less suitable for longform writing and some analogies break down a bit under more thorough analysis, it still gives some helpful frameworks for viewing society.

A great story.

Kind of a mythical figure to me growing up. A lot of nuggets to take away from someone who truly understands artistry.

I read a more recent biography by the same author but learned more from this one. In some ways this guy's kinda weird but he's also very impressive and embodies a lot of American ideals. The world seemed a lot different 250 years ago but many of the same lessons can probably be applied effectively today.

Unfortunately it doesn't go into certain ligaments with too much depth, but it's quite comprehensive. I think studying this book has helped me on the road to understanding my body better and squeeze out some performance gains.

A short play that manages to masterfully paint a dozen characters in vivid color. At times cute and comical, othertimes almost unbearable, a story about dreams that toes the line between hopeless and hopeful.

Textbooks are pretty cool, and I would like to not completely stop learning now that I'm out of college. Also shoutout to Natenburg for a quick options refresher and Problem Solving Strategies for a huge bank of math problems when I'm bored. But this is one of my favorite textbooks ever: graph theory and markets are right up my alley, concepts are explained with the right balance of rigor and intuition, and there are just enough exercises which all help with understanding. Things I thought I understood well ended up blowing my mind, from evolutionary game theory, Braess's Paradox, and matching markets to their applications in Google's algorithms, social weak ties, and information cascades.

Awakens your senses to what's out there in the world. Scientifically fascinating and written in a beginner-friendly manner. The world is so much more colorful than we can imagine, and our perspective might be a tiny part of the whole picture.

Creative and fresh. Pretty genius how some parts of the plot connect and resemble each other, especially when exploring the theme of life as a game. Love the way the characters are generally depicted and grow.
