History, philosophy and political science are my preferred literary domains. I read to understand the past, what we think we know about the present and what the greatest uncertainties are for the future.

Amazing book that illustrates how your entire outlook can change by simply turning a map 90 degrees. It allows you to put yourself in an other’s state of mind and I especially found the chapter on Australia illuminating for the future of Chinese influence in the region
This book represents, more than anything else, a return to pursuing meaning through voluntarily adopting responsibility for yourself (no matter your grievances) and ultimately for others. It’s filled with anecdotes and symbolism but it’s the direct language that makes no apology of demanding more from you that sells it.
