Influence

Robert Cialdini

★★★★☆

Sharpened my awareness, now I spot persuasion tactics everywhere. Super practical and scary real.

How Google Works

Eric Schmidt & Jonathan Rosenberg

★★★☆☆

Feels a bit polished , like the official 'Google tour', Some good insights on culture and hiring, but felt a bit like a PR piece in parts. Still useful if you're into org-building.

सारा आकाश

राजेंद्र यादव

★★★☆☆

किताब पढ़ते-पढ़ते यही लगा कि ये बहुत पुराने दौर की बात है। सोच, व्यवहार, सब कुछ इतना अलग था, उसने तो सिर्फ़ 12वीं ही पास की थी। जो फैसले उसने लिए, जो ग़लतियाँ कीं, वो बचपना लगती हैं… लेकिन शायद ज़िंदगी ऐसे ही चलती है।

Console Wars

Blake J. Harris

★★★★☆

Awesome and a must for those who know what is 6502. I mean, it's a long way from William Higinbotham to today's advanced game industry. And now here we are, waiting for GTA 6.

The Brothers Karamazov

Fyodor Dostoevsky

★★★★☆

Big, philosophical, and layered. Took effort, but worth it. The courtroom scenes and Ivan's rebellion stay with you.

Crime and Punishment

Fyodor Dostoevsky

★★★★★

Intense and psychological. I read it almost like a thriller. Raskolnikov's torment felt personal like a mirror in moments of guilt.

The Idiot

Fyodor Dostoevsky

★★★★★

Prince Myshkin broke my heart. His purity in a corrupt world felt like watching a flower trampled in slow motion. Deeply human and unforgettable.

Notes from Underground

Fyodor Dostoevsky

★★★★☆

This one is messy , in a good way. The narrator frustrates you, but you also feel him. It's a book that reminded me how irrational i am beneath my polished choices.

The Design of Everyday Things

Don Norman

★★☆☆☆

Not what i was expecting, overall a good read.
