// things that shaped me

The Almanack of Naval Ravikant

Eric Jorgenson

5/5

Read it 3-4 times and counting. Brings mental peace and clarity about your passion — packed with advice that actually sticks.

Elon Musk Biography

Walter Isaacson

3/5

Original and eye-opening. Learned a lot about his life and work — a fascinating look at how an obsessive mind operates.

The Hard Thing About Hard Things

Ben Horowitz

4/5

Raw and honest take on building a company through the hard parts nobody talks about. No sugarcoating.

Zero to One

Peter Thiel

5/5

Will read it again. A must for anyone interested in startups and investments — changes how you think about building things.

Manifest

Roxie Nafousi

2/5

Reading it once was enough for me. Good concept but didn't leave a lasting impact.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

Mark Manson

3/5

Amazing book that really helps with overthinking — just didn't need it at the time I read it. Will hit differently for the right person.

// memoirs & real life

The Diary of Anne Frank

Anne Frank

5/5

Don't remember much but the book left a real impact on me. Some stories stay with you without you even realising it.

Everything I Know About Love

Dolly Alderton

5/5

Would definitely suggest this to every girl in her 20s. Teaches you so much about life, making mistakes, and working through them.

// fiction

It Ends With Us

Colleen Hoover

5/5

Still remember every line. The book is so much better than the movie — one of those stories that stays with you forever.

It Starts With Us

Colleen Hoover

2/5

A little boring compared to the first one. Didn't finish it — the magic of It Ends With Us just wasn't there.
