Books

To my friends and colleagues that are always asking me for book recommendations, here they are.

I put together a list of the most impactful books that I’ve read in recent years, grouped by subject. It includes the books that helped me improve how I think, work, and get better results out of the things I do.

And by the way, if there’s something I should read, let me know!
