Reading

Books as calibration.

I tend to read to improve judgment rather than to optimise for volume. History and philosophy stay at the center, but I’m also drawn to management, public policy, behavioural questions, and books that make the present look less inevitable.

Topics I keep circling back to

  • Political and civilisational history
  • Moral philosophy and practical ethics
  • Biographies of builders, reformers, and statesmen
  • Management and decision-making under uncertainty
  • Health, longevity, training, and disciplined living

How this page will evolve

This is designed as a reading ledger rather than a recommendation engine. Over time, I’ll add short notes on books worth remembering, sentences worth keeping, and ideas that survived contact with real life.

The aim is not to review everything. It is to notice what changed my mind.

The full list lives on the books page.
