For the last 100,000 years, we Sapiens have accumulated enormous power. But despite all our discoveries, inventions, and conquests, we now find ourselves in an existential crisis. The world is on the verge of ecological collapse. Misinformation abounds. And we are rushing headlong into the age of AI—a new information network that threatens to annihilate us. For all that we have accomplished, why are we so self-destructive? Nexus looks through the long lens of human history to consider how the flow of information has shaped us, and our world.

Inisghtful parallels
Revisado: 10-06-24
Yuval Harari’s Nexus offers an in-depth exploration of how religion, government, and economic systems have shaped human civilization as complex information networks. Harari’s analysis connects these historical models to the rise of AI, positioning it as the next and potentially most transformative force in humanity’s future. His insights into the evolution of human societies and the role of information in structuring power are both compelling and thought-provoking, making the case that AI may surpass all previous models in its impact on our world.

New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni has written a dozen books that focus on how leaders can build teams and lead organizations. In The Motive, he shifts his attention toward helping them understand the importance of why they're leading in the first place. Lencioni thrusts his listeners into a day-long conversation between rival CEOs. Shay Davis is the CEO of Golden Gate Alarm, who, after just a year in his role, is beginning to worry about his job and is desperate to figure out how to turn things around.

Too lightweight
Revisado: 03-24-24
The book feels more of a shallow introduction of deeper leadership concepts discussed in other books

There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices.

Surprising wisdom
Revisado: 03-15-24
The book provides a very thorough research behind the importance of proper breathing, and its convection to many illnesses and conditions, which have grown accustomed to consider normal in recent times. To learn that simple breathing techniques can drastically improve health, sleep quality, longevity and physical performance, is tremendously valuable. The breathing techniques explained in the book can be learned and applied immediately.

Awe is mysterious. How do we begin to quantify the goose bumps we feel when we see the Grand Canyon, or the utter amazement when we watch a child walk for the first time? How do you put into words the collective effervescence of standing in a crowd and singing in unison, or the wonder you feel while gazing at centuries-old works of art? In Awe, Dacher Keltner presents a radical investigation and deeply personal inquiry into this elusive emotion.

Every investment plan under the sun is, at best, an informed speculation of what may happen in the future, based on a systematic extrapolation from the known past. Same as Ever reverses the process, inviting us to identify the many things that never, ever change. With his usual elan, Morgan Housel presents a master class on optimizing risk, seizing opportunity, and living your best life. Through a sequence of engaging stories and pithy examples, he shows how we can use our newfound grasp of the unchanging to see around corners.

A great complement to the “psychology of money”, I recommend reading that prior to this one. There is great continuity between the two books

One of the great fears many of us face is that despite all our effort and striving, we will discover at the end that we have wasted our life. In A Guide to the Good Life, William B. Irvine plumbs the wisdom of Stoic philosophy, one of the most popular and successful schools of thought in ancient Rome, and shows how its insight and advice are still remarkably applicable to modern lives. In A Guide to the Good Life, Irvine offers a refreshing presentation of Stoicism, showing how this ancient philosophy can still direct us toward a better life.

Isaacson’s skill at writing a storyline that captivates, excites, informs and inspires is in full display here. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and liked that in some passages, explains the science in a good level of detail. Very informative.

Anyone interested in AI will benefit and enjoy, and anyone involve in AI work (research or use) must read this book.
