What's it about? The Almightier (2025) uncovers how the invention of money went from being a tool that served a useful purpose to a system that has taken on religious importance. It also shows how we can just as easily change that relationship and how history may point the way to a fairer future. Money, at its core, isn’t real. Money is what it is because of a shared belief. Our collective act of faith is what gives value to bits of paper, digital entries, or pieces of shiny metals. But over the years, money has gone from a useful tool in building civilizations to being the be-all and end-all in our lives. Greed has evolved from a condemnable vice into a celebrated virtue, and wealth has become our unspoken religion. The problem is, money was never built to be a religion, and unlike faith in something higher, it doesn’t offer redemption – only accumulation. We now live in a post-scarcity world where the resources and technology already exist to feed, house, educate, and power th...

What's it about? The Magic of Code (2025) argues that code functions as the fundamental building block of our digital world, with the power to create virtual worlds, connect people globally, and serve as a gateway to understanding connections among diverse fields like language, mythology, and human thought patterns. If someone asked you to name the great wonders of the world, you'd probably think of Machu Picchu, the Grand Canyon, or the Great Wall of China. But here’s something that might surprise you: code deserves a place on that list, too. Why? Because it opens up a portal to comprehending all the other wonders around us. Code has become the lens through which we explore everything else. Want to understand how galaxies form? Astronomers write simulations. Curious about ancient climate patterns? Researchers code models that analyze ice core data. As novelist Richard Powers put it, the computer is the “supreme connection machine” – and code is the language that makes that ...

What's it about? The Wealth Ladder (2025) reveals why most financial advice fails: it doesn’t adapt as your circumstances change. What works when you’re scraping by won’t help as much once you’ve built savings or boosted your income. This is a guide to knowing what to focus on – when to spend, when to save, when to invest, and when to stop trading time for money – so you can build wealth with strategy, not guesswork. You can earn six figures and still feel broke. You can work nonstop and still fall behind. That’s because what you do with your money matters more than what you make. And the rules that helped you build your first $10,000 won’t help you build your first million. That’s where most people go wrong: they stick with the same tactics long after they’ve outgrown them. They keep budgeting every dollar like they’re still living paycheck to paycheck. Or they chase side hustles that barely move the needle. But the truth is, your approach to money needs to evolve as you move u...

In the lesson ahead, you’ll explore a compelling counter-narrative that dismantles the myth of the “weaker sex” piece by piece. By examining the science of muscle metabolism, the men...
