I love reading, and these are the books I’m keeping close this month. Some I’ve finished; others have just arrived.
1. Missoula by Jon Krakauer(the same author as “Into the Wild”). Why this book? A friend gave it to me, and its haunting and truth-revealed honest content has stayed with me.
2. Une Brève histoire de l’Égalité by Thomas Piketty. Why this book? It’s perhaps the most accessible work Piketty has written, making it an ideal entry point.
3. The Deals of Warren Buffett: Volume 2, The Making of a Billionare. Why this book? This feels as much like a biography as an analysis, exploring how Buffett navigated tough decisions and complex challenges.
4. Megatrends: The shortest way to Understand Global Economics by Ms. Lin. Why this book? Drawn by its clarity, I picked it up as a beginner’s guide to global and regional economic trends.
5. Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There：Tali Sharot, Cass R. Sunstein. Why this book? To break the cycle of taking things for granted. Learning, as the book suggests, is a path to change—and change helps counteract habituation.
6. Scarcity Brain: Fix Your Craving Mindset and Rewire Your Habits to Thrive with Enough：Michael Easter. Why this book? Recommended by my brother, it advocates that being “good” is enough—there’s no need for “better.”
7. The Noonday Demon－An Atlas of Depression ：Andrew Solomon. Why this book? I’m drawn to Solomon’s honest writing. His graceful openness about his own struggles is deeply soothing. His journalism is a raw witness to both himself and others, capturing the nuanced effects of depression.
