Books to read in 2022

 I prefer to read books recommended by Bill Gates and Jammie Dimon. However I don`t read all the books recommended by them. I skip fiction and political commentary related books. From the latest list shared by Bill below are the preferred ones according to me. I will write more in terms of what I learned from each book.

• How the world really works 

• Numbers Don’t Lie: 71 Things You Need to Know About the World

• Grand Transitions.

• The Gene: An Intimate History ( 2016 recommended)

• The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race

• The Checklist Manifesto ( Not in Bill Gates or Jamie list yet)

• A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence
