In every decision you make and every goal you set, there are two easy ways to fail: having too little confidence and having too much. As a Berkeley psychologist, Don Moore has spent his career studying how to find the sweet spot, and his book is full of data-driven guidance for making more accurate assessments of your abilities and opportunities. – source2021-12-17T13:27:01.000Z
I read an average of one book a week plus I spend a lot of time finding out what to read next.
I’ve chosen these books as my best reads this year (both science fiction and non-fiction).
