Been killing a lot of audio books this month. Ones I've either finished or am part way through so far in Sept:

Shoe Dog, by Phil Knight
Fantastic book. Memoire by the founder of Nike. Will never look at Nike as a company the same way again. Not a business book, but a great story.

Measure What Matters, by John Doerr
A great book on simple, practical and scalable management practices used by intel and then brought to Google and other standout companies.

Fear, by Woodward
Not as shocking as it was billed to be but certainly seems like a book that will be an important part of the historical record for this presidency.

21 Lessons for the 21st Century, by Yval Noah Harari
Doesn't measure up to Sapiens or Homo Deus. He really seems to stretch beyond his areas of expertise and includes a bit too much filler. Still pretty decent, but not close to his other books.

Thinking Fast and Slow, by Daniel Kahneman
A classic of economics and very much worth reading for those with any interest in behavioural psychology.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, by Maya Angelou
It's pretty good though feels like I've made a return to a high school English class reading list. The audio book is great because it's actually read by Maya Angelou.

Dune Messiah, by Frank Herbert
Not as good as the first Dune, but it's still cool sci-fi.

Americanah, by Chimamanda Adichie
Still in the middle of this story about a successful female Nigerian immigrant to the US who decides to go back to Nigeria to be part of the future there. Enjoying it very much so far. An interesting window into a different life with a perspective so different from my own.

Our Mathematical Universe, by Max Tegmark
I first read Tegmark in Life 3.0, which was a great book also. With this book I'm totally being won over by him as he expresses so much love for the beauty of science and math in our universe while getting you thinking about the universe in mind-expanding ways. Love it.
