• Memories, Dreams, Reflections — by Carl G. Jung ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

• Scientific Advertising — by Claude C. Hopkins

• Enfant Terrible — by Luc Besson

• What It Takes — by Stephen A. Schwarzman

• Pour Your Heart Into It — by Howard Schultz

• Class — by Paul Fussell

• The Almanack of Naval Ravikant — by Eric Jorgenson

• A Journey Through India’s New Gilded Age — by James Crabtree (This book pushed me to think more deeply about democracy and culture. India is a “democratic”country, but it is far from being democratic.)

• Agnès Varda: Interviews — by T. Jefferson Kline

• The Rise of Mr. Ponzi — by Charles Ponzi

• Finite and Infinite Games — by James P. Carse ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

• Games People Play — by Eric Berne ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

• Think Like an Artist — by Will Gompertz ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

• City of Dreams — by Tyler Anbinder (This book is an epic about New York, but I completely disagree with the author’s views on Islam in the last chapter. The author compares today’s Muslims to Irish immigrants (Catholics) from 200 years ago and paints a bright future for Muslims in America. This comparison is incredibly naive.)

• The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat — by Oliver Sacks (Oliver Sacks was my greatest discovery of 2025.)
