Bill Gates' five favorite books
Despite his retirement from work, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates regularly keeps up with science and innovation-related research from around the world. In addition, he reads a lot of books. Not only that, he also recommends his favorite books to others. Recently, Bill Gates has published the names of his five favorite books on his blog site 'Gates Notes'. The article has been published for readers.
Four books will help you understand the world around you in some way or another. The first book on the list is called 'An Unfinished Love Story'. Author Doris Kearns Goodwin. I adore Doris's books. I did not know much about her personal life until I read Doris's autobiography. The book sheds light on many aspects of her life with her late husband. Her husband worked as a policy expert and speechwriter for Presidents Kennedy and Johnson during one of the most turbulent times in American history. Doris is a talented writer. One could argue that the different parts of his love story are just as fascinating and instructive as the parts about the Vietnam War and the Kennedy assassination.
Jonathan Haidt's second book is called "The Anxious Generation." The youth of today are discussed in this book. Those who are trying to work with or teach young people should definitely read the book. The book reminded me of my childhood. Then I often spent time wandering outside without parental supervision. Sometimes I got into trouble. It is because of those problems that I have come to this stage today. In the book, the author gives an idea about how the process of child emotional development is changing due to the shift from a play-based childhood to a phone-based childhood. The author not only highlights the problems, but also discusses practical solutions.
The third book is ‘Engineering in Plain Sight’, author Grady Hillhouse. Have you ever looked at an unusually shaped pipe lying on the ground? Then you wondered what it was? If so, then this book is for you. In this book, Hillhouse discusses the mysterious structures we see every day, from cable boxes to transformers and mobile phone towers. He also explains how these things work. The book can be said to be quite helpful in satisfying curiosity about many things. You will find answers to all the questions that you do not know in the book.
The fourth book is ‘The Coming Wave’, by Mustafa Suleiman. Mustafa has extensive knowledge of the history of science. He writes about various technologies, including artificial intelligence, such as gene editing, and other scientific advances. He also explains how these discoveries have impacted society. The author tells us to be prepared for various risks. If you want to know about the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), then this book is the best.
The book named ‘Federer’ by Doris Henkel is not for everyone. It is quite expensive and quite heavy. If you or someone you love is a fan of Roger Federer, then this is a great book to learn about his life and career. I thought I knew all the history of Roger. But I learned a lot about Roger's early days from the book. There are many pictures in the book that I have never seen before. The book is a great book for tennis fans.
