Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business

Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Duhigg is a compelling storyteller. Here he uses memorable stories to teach useful lessons on how to increase personal productivity. That said, he could have done more to convince the reader of the universality of the principles that he extrapolates from these stories.

The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds

The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds by Michael Lewis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This could have been another one of the dozens of pop-science books that merely restate the work of Kahneman and Tversky. It’s not. Instead, Lewis opens a window into the lives, characters, and stories attached to these extraordinary minds, making their work all the more memorable and enjoyable to lay readers like me.
