if you’re engineers I would recommend: “Algorithms to live by”, its a book about optimising various aspects of your life using computer science.

non engineers can also read this, just that having an engineer background fascinated me that the topic i studied can be used in such a way.

It stated with this - I did read 254 books in 2023 hence upped my target. I read on Kindle so easy to track. This target doesn't include audible books or physical books.

So if you are interested in reading but have hit a slump, want to start reading, looking for recommendations ask away & hopefully I can convert a few more viners into readers.

PS I'm always on the lookout for a good detective series.

Title is self explanatory. You could mention anything from fiction, non fiction, course books (try to avoid pls🫢). Anything that you would remember for a long time! 

Starting with mine -

1) Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine (Fiction; Helped me during a particularly difficult phase in life)
2) Braving the Wilderness (Non fiction)
3) Harry Potter Series (I read the books recently, after watching the movies some 10 times. Just the imagination of the author is inspiring)
4) Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Fiction; best Agatha Christie novel ever)
5) Norwegian Wood (Fiction)

Looking forward to hearing from my fellow bookworms ☺️

Personally, Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

The concept of Antifragility, where systems and individuals not only withstand chaos but actually benefit from it, had reshaped my perspective on risk, resilience, and adaptability. It is extremely complementary to the writings of Marcus Aurelius but differing in key ways.

While both Antifragility and Stoicism encourage resilience in the face of adversity, they approach it differently. Stoicism emphasizes inner calm and acceptance of what cannot be changed, while Antifragility encourages actively seeking out challenges and volatility to grow stronger. 

For me, the blend of these philosophies provides a more holistic approach to navigating life's uncertainties, combining the wisdom of the ancient Stoics with a proactive stance toward embracing chaos and harnessing it for personal growth.
