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.
