This is a thoughtful read. It boils down the key insights and findings of entrepreneur/investor Naval Ravikant in an easy-to-digest manner. I appreciated the logic of Naval’s view points and the crispness with which he expresses himself. The Almanack of Naval...

This is a good book. I grew up watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Will Smith’s blockbuster movies debuted when I came of age and actually enjoyed going to theaters. I’ve loosely followed Will’s career. Reading his memoir gave me a better...

Here is a shocker: Mexico didn’t pay for the wall. Building a border wall that spans the entire U.S.-Mexico border is untenable. In fact, just five miles of new wall have been built in recent years. The two countries have shared a border for 200 years and have endured...
