My top reads of 2024

I read 31 books this year and here are the best of them, according to my taste.
​(in no order)

​The Greatest Minds and Ideas of All Time because it is such a great summary of precisely what the book claims :)

​The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read because it is such a good guide on how parents shape up their kids.

​What I learnt about investing from Darwin because I found it fascinating how much one can learn about investing from the Darwinian theory of evolution.

​Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up because it shocked me how therapy might be destroying an entire generation.

​Four Thousand Weeks because it was a practical and simple way of managing time.

​The Learning Game because it chose to redefine education; the way we understand it today.

​The Money Trap because it was one of the most well-written autobiographies of recent times and in a domain (startups) that is close to me.

​Accelerating India's Development because it is possibly the best written book for a layman such as me, who wishes to understand how the India's administrative machinery works (and doesn't).

What are some good books you read?

Results of last week's question

This was a year of increased expenses and thankfully for most people, increased salary as well. While a scary 18% of people aged 40+ had their salary reduce and expenses increase.
​
​My response?​
Salary remained the same; expenses reduced.

Get affected by people’s energy.

1 new thing I learnt this week

India has two time zones - one was Calcutta and the other was Mumbai. It was 1906 when Madras (Chennai) was adopted as the IST. Although IST was officially adopted in 1947, Calcutta Time continued to be used until 1948, and Bombay Time remained in use until 1955.
