5 books recommended in 2023

The Road to Character

by David Brooks

You recommended "The Road to Character" to me. I do an annual solo wilderness trip, and I listen to it during the drive to that trip and on that trip, and I would just say it's a truly important book for everyone to listen to.

Mastery

by Robert Greene

I first learned about Robert's work from reading the book, "Mastery," which to my mind is a brilliant exploration and a practical tool for how to think about and pursue one's purpose. Whenever I'm asked for book suggestions, I always include "Mastery" in my top three recommendations.

Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time

by Dava Sobel

And I recommended three books at the end of the course, every year that I taught it. I taught it for four years. And one of the books was the book, "Longitude," which is a wonderful story about the discovery of timekeeping devices at sea.

Principles of Neural Science

by Eric R. Kandel, James H. Schwartz, Thomas M. Jessell

One book I'll leave as a mystery, not to be mysterious, but because it's a science book. I'll just tell you what it is. It's "Principles of Neuroscience."
