How to interpret the book scores.
When Things Fall Apart
Pema Chödrön
The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
Robin S. Sharma
A self-help novel, full of great wisdoms packed into a bit weird story.
Calling Bullshit
Carl Bergstrom and Jevin West
How to spot bullshit and what to do after that. Funny and important book.
From Bacteria to Bach and Back
Daniel Dennett
Dennett's latest attempt at explaining our mind and it's evolution.
The Parasitic Mind
Gad Saad
Bit misleading title for the book full of angry arguments against overly liberal policies mainly in USA. I stopped listening to the audio version of the book circa in the middle.
Slepé skvrny
Daniel Prokop
Palčivé problémy Česka v podání předního sociologa, který neváhá kritizovat levici i pravici.
The Science Book
DK
A brief history of natural sciences. Heavily biased towards physics and chemistry.
The Missionary Position
Christopher Hitchens
Mother Teresa's morals and believes clearly belong to the past.
The Evolution of Everything
Matt Ridley
If you push enough, everything can be explained with evolution theory.
The Code Book
Simon Singh
The history of cryptography from the acknowledged popular science (maths) book author.
Social Engineering
Christopher Hadnagy
Learn some actionable practices to hack human brain of other people and exploit it's attributes and weaknesses.
Putin's People
Catherine Belton
How Putin raised his power, gained control of whole industries, banks, companies and ruled Russia with the help of KGB and FSB. Not overwhelmingly pleasant to read.
How Innovation Works
Matt Ridley
Innovation is a long, messy and complex process. The contributions of single scientics and inventors is overstated.
Cosmos
Carl Sagan
Sagan is one of the most prominent popular science author and this book was even turned into a series.
A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived
Adam Rutherford
What can modern DNA analysis tell us about our ancestors? A lot actually.
Outgrowing God
Richard Dawkins
Another briliant book from the great Dawkins. You love him or you hate him.

The Blinkist
The Language Insinct
Steven Pinker
The Great Mental Models II
Shane Parrish, Rhiannon Beaubien
How to create a mind
Ray Kurzweil
Genius
James Gleick
Conscious
Annaka Harris
A hard topic to write about. I expected a bit more since Sam Harris (her husband) and some other notable authors and scientists have recommended the book.
The Parasicit Mind
Gad Gaad
Antifragile
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Taleb introduces another great term—antifragility—which can be found in many areas. And which can be consciously improved. It's more than robustness.
Lifespan
David A. Sinclair
The Great Mental Models I
Shane Parrish, Rhiannon Beaubien
The Book of Why
Judea Pearl
Not very engaging but definitely important topic of correlation, causation, statistics and AI.
