Books

I mostly read non-fiction. Fiction hasn’t really worked for me — I tend to drift back to things that feel practical or make me think.

Picked up, put down, picked up again. Still working through it.

Romancing the Balance Sheet

Anil Lamba

A revisit. Not sure why, but here we are.

the shelf
  • The Sovereign Individual
    Davidson & Rees-Mogg

    This one stayed with me. Changed how I think about markets, power, and where things might be headed.

    ★★★★★
  • Sapiens
    Yuval Noah Harari

    Made me think in terms of systems and long-term human behaviour, not just events.

    ★★★★☆
  • Atomic Habits
    James Clear

    Very straightforward. Easy to apply. One of the few books where you actually change something after reading.

    ★★★★☆
  • Romancing the Balance Sheet
    Anil Lamba

    Basic, but useful. I liked how it connects numbers to real-world thinking.

    ★★★☆☆

Broadly, I like books that help me understand how people think, how systems work, and how things compound over time.
