That is a very narrow, heavily concentrated set of subject matter. Obviously everyone's reading tastes vary, but could you benefit from branching out a little?

I am focused around tech and startups.

must've been a painful year. I tire of these books that force 350 pages out of something that can easily be explained in 20 pages.

Grit by Duckworth is probably the worst example of this. Overhyped trollop

Yep, Exactly how I felt about Grit. I didnt have the Grit to finish it.

_mqak · on Dec 13, 2018

Yes. So many books that could have been explained in a single tweet.

Could you give a thought about which one is worth to read write and which one to skip? I have some same reading list with you

Question, how in depth was the Alibaba book? Was full of nitty-gritty details of how it started or was it kind of a shallow hoo-ray kind of book?

_mqak · on Dec 13, 2018

It had details and insights of what was going on in real. Pretty detailed.

One Minute Manager is such a short but worthy read! I think everyone should go through it (takes 30 minutes maybe?)

_mqak · on Dec 13, 2018

Yes. It was a very quick read.
