Books

Not everything I read belongs here. These are the books that changed a habit, clarified an idea, or built a world I still remember.

Nonfiction

Never Split the DifferenceChris Voss and Tahl Raz
Read

The best book on communication I have read. It made negotiation feel less like winning and more like learning how another person sees the situation.

Unreasonable HospitalityWill Guidara
Read

A memorable way to think about creating better customer experiences. The small, specific gesture often matters more than the expensive one.

The Psychology of MoneyMorgan Housel
Read

One of the best books on personal finance because it treats money as a problem of behavior, time, and expectations rather than formulas alone.

Fiction

Mistborn, original trilogyBrandon Sanderson
Read

One of the best fantasy series I have read. The magic system is inventive, but the way the world keeps revealing a larger structure is what stayed with me.

Leviathan WakesJames S. A. Corey
Read

The start of one of my favorite science-fiction series. It combines a lived-in future, political tension, and the pace of a mystery.

The SwarmFrank Schätzing
Read

A great science thriller with a lot of technical information made accessible to the reader without losing the tension of the story.

The FerrymanJustin Cronin
Read

An interesting science-fiction novel built around identity, memory, and a world that keeps changing as the central idea comes into focus.
