The #book that captivated me lately is The Formula by @barabasi Albert-László Barabási. Oh, boy, this was a smart book. It gives us 5 formulas (hence the title) that show you the components of #success. It analyzes success with a focus on math and network science. #reading https://t.co/1RWNaDlZ31

1/2 I would like to share with you a science fiction book: Karen Thompson Walker's novel The Dreamers is about an epidemic that causes people to fall asleep and never wake up again. The book describes the epidemic’s social effects and the way people try to find what caused it. https://t.co/w0NGS1jG2x

Sometimes I read something that's neither science fiction nor anything about the future of healthcare or A.I. A very short, yet deep read from my ultimate favorite person, John Cleese, about a thing that all of us appreciate so much while it's so hard to use it: creativity. https://t.co/6Gop9dYKMs

Just finished Project Hail Mary, which is Andy Weir’s third book, after The Martian and then Artemis. It is an ode to science, to puzzles, and of course to saving humankind.

I just finished a book called ‘Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment”, by Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein. This was a tough one. It’s about how to channel out the noise around you when making a decision, especially when it comes to doing forecasts. https://t.co/yEyvh4Aots
