Historia
It’s only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades--all before his suicide at age forty-one. This classic biography of the founder of computer science, reissued on the centenary of his birth with a substantial new preface by the author, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life.

Great story, but some issues
Revisado: 05-29-22
Too many long windy sentences and the use of uncommon words like ‘erstwhile’ make it a difficult listen at points. The story is good though.

Great introduction to the best strategy methods
Revisado: 11-18-20
This book provides a good overview and introduction to the most important tools, methods, concepts etc. within strategy, and business strategy in particular. And with enough detail on each to be useful.
It's too easy to overload new employees with reading material, so it's good to have a single book that delves into moderate detail on each of the top 10 areas of strategy development, rather than waste time on outdated or less relevant topics, or excessive detail or examples.
While I would also recommend many people to read The Pyramid Principle, Learn Start-up etc. it's a better starting point for most people to get a larger overview, and moderate detail, with a book like this.

There have been over a thousand previous biographies of Churchill. Andrew Roberts now draws on over 40 new sources, including the private diaries of King George VI, used in no previous Churchill biography, to depict him more intimately and persuasively than any of its predecessors.

Historia
The science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose research overturns the long-standing belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in different brain regions. Instead, Barrett shows, we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interplay of brain, body, and culture.

Good mix of research and insights along with personal story. Must read for any girl going through a breakup, or hard time in their relationship, or just in general to understand better what guys are thinking on the way towards a breakup and after.

Very well written and narrated. Is straight to the point and has many strong timeless insights, that many have seemed to forget, or just never learned. Highly recommended.

Historia
Human beings are primates, and primates are political animals. Our brains, therefore, are designed not just to hunt and gather but also to help us get ahead socially, often via deception and self-deception. But while we may be self-interested schemers, we benefit by pretending otherwise. The less we know about our own ugly motives, the better - and thus, we don't like to talk, or even think, about the extent of our selfishness. This is "the elephant in the brain".

A quick run through of studies on altruism, self-interest, and how we lie to ourselves. There are many interesting examples that show clearly to what extent various activities are more inherently functional, enjoyable, or just signalling.

Focuses on investments, not operations

This book focuses on who participated in which a, b, C series funding and IPOs of which Internet company when. Overall there is not much info about Jack Ma, Alibaba, e-commerce or China. I hope someone will write a better biography of Jack Ma and/or Ali baba.
