Some of my favorite books and my main takeaway:

Unconditional Parenting — Be on your child& #39;s side, unconditionally, all the time.

Blue Ocean Strategy — Find uncontested markets.

Alchemy — Rational is what works, not what makes sense.

Rework — Constraints are advantages in disguise.

Hell Yeah or No — Do almost nothing.

Fooled by Randomness — Things are more random than they seem.

Black Swan — Almost all consequential events are unpredictable.

Antifragile — Some things benefit from shocks & variations, and you can be like that too.

Skin in the Game — Risk exposure makes you smarter.
