Readings

Here are some books and readings that have influenced my thinking and that I think are worth sharing.

Philosophy & Existentialism

"The Myth of Sisyphus"
by Albert Camus
Changed how I think about meaning. Camus argues we should embrace the absurd rather than escape it. Building a startup often feels Sisyphean - but that's the point.
"Thus Spoke Zarathustra"
by Friedrich Nietzsche
The Übermensch concept is less about superiority, more about self-creation.

Systems & Human Nature

"Antifragile"
by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Taleb convinced me that volatility isn't always bad. Some things get stronger from stress. How do we build things that improve under pressure?
"Sapiens"
by Yuval Noah Harari
Made me realize how much of what we take for granted is just shared stories we all agreed to believe. Money, companies, even nation-states. Useful lens for thinking about what new stories we can create.
