Finally finished the 3rd volume (Death's End) of the Three Body Problem sci-fi series. Wow wow wow. Cixin Liu's imagination and ability to think about the nth-order effects of scientific progress is mind-blowing. Trisolaris forever! https://t.co/dN3OveQZ8h

The Tyranny of Merit: Can We Find the Common Good?

Michael J. Sandel
Nick MehtaNick Mehta

Every now and then, I read a book that gets me to question my core world views. In this vein, I can't stop thinking about "The Tyranny of Merit" by Michael Sandel. He takes the conversation beyond meritocracy to analyzing our assumptions around "merit." https://www.amazon.com/Tyranny-Merit-Whats-Become-Common/dp/0374289980

Just finished "The Insecure Mind of Sergei Kraev" by my friend @ericsilberstein. It's an incredibly creative dystopian novel that explores potential long-term implications of some of the issues we face today in society. Highly recommend! Congrats Eric! https://www.amazon.com/Insecure-Mind-Sergei-Kraev/dp/1737351900

So fired up to get my advanced copy of @MatthewEMay @pabtexas @insightpartners new book "What A Unicorn Knows." Insight has the best database of growth stage SaaS metrics around and I've found their advice around Durable Growth to be invaluable. https://t.co/GyP5cxqY4r

Just finished Admiral James Stavridis's novel on cybersecurity risk "2034." It's chilling - truly a wake-up call. I probably picked the worst time to read it - or maybe the most appropriate: https://t.co/t5Hx045Nlj

Haven't read a more actionable business book in a long time than Working Backwards by @cbryar and Bill Carr. Incredible best practices from Amazon. And obviously I love that everything was around working backwards from the desired customer experience. https://www.amazon.com/Working-Backwards-Insights-Stories-Secrets/dp/1250267595

In addition to creating parody music videos and listening to geeky SaaS podcasts, reading is one of my favorite pastimes. If you’re looking for a book on mentorship and leadership for any SaaS startup, Lead Upwards by @SEBMarketing is a great new book. https://t.co/9YoybLfeit
