book review

This is a strange book. Book that hooks you from 1st paragraph onwards. I read this when I was young. I could not understand the hidden message in it.

It is a concise book. If you have been a regular reader of Hindu literature – none of the writing is eye opening. The best thing about the book is how Thich Nhat Hanh can explain methods of meditation.

Bill Gates himself has written a review for this book on GoodReads. Factfulness has a very similar premise to Freakonomics

Short but very thought provoking. Its 50 page, 1500 word essay. Available on Amazon India for INR ~2500. Recommended to me by Shrikant Somani, Head of Sales at GreyAtom.

I have 10 doctors in my immediate family. This book was an impulsive airport pick. Before reading this book I knew that the Indian healthcare stories are full of corruption, commercialization and medical negligence but after reading this I now know the magnitude of the situation and it is alarming at the very least.

Written by a self-confessed Anglophile, Autobiography of An Unknown Indian is a witty and endearing account of Nirad C. Chaudhuri’s life. The book delves into the mind of the author as he takes his readers down memory lane to a pre-independence India. Written in a sarcastic manner that takes potshots at both Indian as well as British cultures, this book is one of the early works of Indian literature written in English.

Crockford tells us how to avoid the pitfalls and write reliable code using the language of the Web, which is not going away soon. The 5 hour Web Series by Yahoo on YouTube by the same name is even better. Crockford is a tech entertainer. Lectures are arresting and insightful.

Click! is conversational, educational & personal. It makes conversion rate, KPIs, and sales funnel more relatable. Definitely recommended for anyone working on a commercial website.

The best thing about this edition is the spread of topics under the Theme of ‘AI in Education’. It will broaden your horizon on quantitative possibilities in Education.

It looks like Reid Hoffman spent a year in GreyAtom and wrote the book. Focuses on the approaches and mindset needed to scale anything.
