[The book] feels especially relevant now when our country is once again facing violent insurrection, difficult questions about race, and deep ideological divides. Goodwin is one of America’s best biographers, and Team of Rivals is arguably her masterpiece.

I really related to the story—in fact, it reminded me a lot of my relationship with Paul Allen and our work together at Microsoft. Tomorrow was one of the biggest books of last year, and it’s easy to see why. Zevin is a great writer who makes you care deeply about her characters.

[Ritchie] uses data to tell a counterintuitive story that contradicts the doomsday scenarios on climate and other environmental topics without glossing over the challenges. Everyone who wants to have an informed conversation about climate change should read this book.

Nobody is better than Smil at explaining the past. If you want to know how human ingenuity brought us to this moment in time, I highly recommend Invention and Innovation.

I’ve written a book about how we can make sure the world never suffers through something like COVID-19 again...The world now understands how seriously we should take pandemics, and momentum is on our side.

It’s surprisingly easy to read, even though the subject matter is heavy. I would describe it as emotional rather than depressing…O’Farrell has done a remarkable job crossing that line and imagining how real life may have influenced one of history’s greatest plays.

All of us will get sick at some point. All of us will have loved ones who get sick. To understand what’s happening in those moments—and to feel optimistic that things will get better—it helps to know something about cells... Mukherjee’s latest book will give you that knowledge.

I just watched the series All the Light We Cannot See on Netflix. I had read the book, which is amazing, sometimes an adaptation of a book you love can be disappointing. That’s not the case here—the series is just as good.

I’ve been a fan of @amortowles for a few years now and his recent novel The Lincoln Highway is fantastic. Set in 1954, he uses the story of two brothers to show that our personal journeys are never as linear or predictable as we might hope...

This book from 1974 is a must-read for anyone who plays tennis... He gives excellent advice about how to move on constructively from mistakes, which I’ve tried to follow both on and off the court over the years.
