I think I&#8217;ll go with &#8220;The 12 Week Year&#8221; as it&#8217;s probably been the most impactful in the short term. I love Tiago Forte&#8217;s &#8220;Building a Second Brain&#8221;, but I&#8217;m still struggling with implementation, lol. Another great one is &#8220;Chip Wars&#8221; by Chris Miller. I&#8217;m still reading it, but it&#8217;s definitely an important book for understanding the geopolitical and economic implications of the semiconductor industry. It&#8217;s fascinating to see how deeply technology is intertwined with global power dynamics and economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about you?
