// things that shaped me
The Almanack of Naval Ravikant
Eric Jorgenson
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
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
Raw and honest take on building a company through the hard parts nobody talks about. No sugarcoating.
Zero to One
Peter Thiel
Will read it again. A must for anyone interested in startups and investments — changes how you think about building things.
Manifest
Roxie Nafousi
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
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
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
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
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
A little boring compared to the first one. Didn't finish it — the magic of It Ends With Us just wasn't there.
