An incredibly detailed look into Robert Moses' career in public service, with some interesting notes about getting things done. I come away with a very mixed perception of Moses - disagree with his tactics/strategy, but he got things done.

Super tactical; a pretty good primer on a very specific topic, but I still had questions walking away from it.

A super informative and well-written book, but the topic is quite narrow. I'd recommend starting with The Emperor of All Maladies

Breaks down each of the wars into 5 steps: Attack, Resistance, Clash, Closing the Net, Knowing When to Stop. Hearing about the great generals of antiquity is interesting, and the author offers a nuanced perspective, balancing praise for the general's leadership with plain luck. The biggest takeaway is the importance of 'audacity'.

Pretty technical deep dive into the US healthcare landscape. The focus on the individual policy proposals during the Trump administration was interesting, but felt less relevant now. The most important question: should better-off individuals help subsidize care for less fortunate ones?

Interesting stories, especially the insights into politics in NYC and Illinois. Otherwise, I didn't learn as much about working in a regulated environment as I would've hoped.

Probably the best novel I've read, maybe ever, but certainly in the last few years.

Some good tidbits. Some rather crazy viewpoints. I still don't know how well Thiel understands statistics/Divine Providence.

Enlightening look at what makes a good strategy, and how to construct one.

At this point, it seems a bit dated, but it's interesting to see which predicitions came true (such as the rise of specialty/urgent care clinics). Some overall principles may hold true, but it's probably better to focus on 'jobs to be done' more holistically.

Very detailed examples of AI from 2019. Possibly too optimistic; certainly a little hard to think about.

Engaging and easy read, with a lot of well-sourced substance to back up the narrative.

Disappointing. Lots of interesting insights, but presented as a tale of stiched-together anecdotes

I'm sure this book contains some useful concepts, but I just couldn't read more than 5 pages without falling asleep

Like a TED talk that got expanded into a novel. Some redeemable parts, though.

4 Cs - cultural, creative, communal, conscious

It's just about his early life. I didn't realize. Pretty well written, though.

Some chapters were worthless, but there are some really deep sections on things like team formation and how to get the most out of diverse teams that more than make up for it.

A bunch of random anecdotes, but overall a pretty entertaining book with interesting historical anecdotes that you can finish in a day.

Very interesting historical context, and good explanations of monetary theories, much like you'd expect from the host of Planet Money.
