Do it like a Woman - and change the world

Author: Caroline Criado Perez Publication Date: October 2019

This book is a compilation of stories highlighting remarkable women from around the world and their continuous efforts toward achieving equality. It serves as a megaphone for these incredible women and their ongoing work to create a more equitable world. It reminds us that by merely accepting, ignoring, and moving on, we undermine the actions and sacrifices of these remarkable individuals. The book encourages us not to feel ashamed to speak up, affirming that we are not the “imperfect men,” as Aristotle once described women, but unique entities capable of making this world a better place, and without whom humanity would cease to exist.

Nexus - A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI

Author: Yuval Noah Harari Publication Date: September 2024

I did the audio version of the book. Yuval Harari is an excellent storyteller and always leaves you with an afterthought. Nexus is meant to be a reflection on where humanity is heading, especially with the rise of AI, disinformation, and global instability. But to be honest, I didn’t enjoy it as much. It felt like a lot of repetition and basically a recap of his earlier books. The same themes from Sapiens and Homo Deus kept popping up, just re-worded. Continue reading

Maya Angelou's Biographies

Author: Maya Angelou Publication Date: 1969 - 2013
2024-11-30 4 min read Sincheenz
Maya Angelou’s autobiography is made up of seven parts. I loved all seven books. Each is unique—an easy yet captivating read. Maya Angelou’s attitude toward life and all she experienced is remarkable. Her stories allow us to learn about the struggles of African American people, especially African American women at that time. They teach us how they survived, laughed, and made the best of life despite immense challenges. Her work reminds us how privileged we are and to better appreciate what life has given us.

Behave - The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst

Author: Robert M. Sapolsky Publication Date: May 2017
2024-09-24 3 min read Sincheenz
This is not a book you can casually read before bed—at least not for me. It’s filled with a wealth of information on neuroscience, psychology, studies conducted, papers published, and more. It was very interesting, and I learned so much from it. It took me a while to read, as I had many interruptions, which meant I had to go back and reread several chapters. The book is about why we behave the way we do—what makes us congenial, aggressive, possessive, or averse. Continue reading

Homo Deus - A Brief History of Tomorrow

Author: Yuval Noah Harari Publication Date: May 2015
2024-07-20 3 min read Sincheenz
Homo Deus or Human Gods is a book that discusses what would follow us Homo sapiens as species and the consequences we should be prepared for. It’s an interesting, thought-provoking, and at times, an absurd read. Published in 2016, before the Covid-19 crisis, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the recent intensification Israel-Palestine conflict, the book confirms the fragility and uncertainty of the world we live in. Yuval Harari claimed then less than a decade back, that the future will only focus on intellectual wars rather than armed conflicts. Continue reading
