Interests
I enjoy reading books, cycling, running, playing chess, listening to podcasts and music, and watching movies.
Recently, I started reading Paul Graham Essays and they are superb. To provide a bit of context, he is a co-founder of YCombinator. Few of my personal favourites are:
-
Makers’ Schedule, Manager’s Schedule (Yes, I hate having too much meetings
) - How to get new ideas
- Cities and Ambition
My top book recommendations
- Slow Productivity by Cal Newport
- Deep Work by Cal Newport
- A World Without Email by Cal Newport
- Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari
- Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
- Atomic Habits by James Clear
- Animal Farm by George Orwell
- Outliers by Malcom Gladwell
- 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey
The podcasts that I enjoy the most
- Deep Questions with Cal Newport (superb)
- Acquired (I love the accents of Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal)
- Lex Fridman podcast
- Tim Ferris Show
My favourite movies
- Inception
- Interstellar
- Parasite

Note: I would watch any movie directed by Christoper Nolan and Quentin Tarantino. Furthermore, I would listen to any piece composed by Hans Zimmer.
