Recommended Reads, 35th in a Quarterly Series
Stuff I read recently that I'd recommend:
The Perfectionists: How Precision
Engineers Created the Modern World (Winchester). Well-written
Robin (Itzkoff). What a
fascinating life Robin Williams led, and how incredibly sad what he struggled
with which ultimately took that life away from us.
Never Enough: The Neuroscience and
Experience of Addiction (Grisel). Really
neat to learn more about the effect substances have on the brain from someone
who is both formerly addicted and now a neuroscientist.
The Big Fella: Babe Ruth and the World
He Created (Leavy). Man, no matter how
many sports/entertainment/political characters we get to follow in today’s 24/7
social media world, we’ll still be talking about the Babe a thousand years from
now.
American Like Me: Reflections on Life
Between Cultures (Ferrera). I really
enjoyed hearing from other famous peoples’ experiences being hyphenated like
me.
Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our
Best and Worst (Sapolsky). A dense and
thought-provoking foray into what drives human psychology and behavior.
