Million Dollar Weekend by Noah Kagan
Reviewed Date: December 21st, 2024 I had little to no expectations when I picked up this book. Honestly, it surprised me. It’s not clickbait-y. The book has solid stuff.

Supercommunicators by Charles Duhigg
Reviewed Date: May 9th, 2024 I had little to no expectations when I picked up this book. Mostly because I read a few books on the same topic the book discusses.

How To Be the Love You Seek by Nicole Lepera
Reviewed Date: MArch 20th, 2024 Relationships are fundamentally human. We crave human connections; it is innate.
