I studied English literature at Columbia, then spent a decade at Goldman, Uber and Waymo. Here are five books that will actually make you smarter and hotter. I mean it. You're going to start here. This is a biography of a woman who walked away from high society for a life of love affairs across Europe and Arabia. OG Bridgerton. Read it and you will stop apologizing for wanting more. You may also want to blow up your entire life. This book is genuinely fascinating. I worked at Goldman, no one there explained money as clearly as this. If you read it, nobody will ever talk down to you about finance again. This is a biography of cancer that reads like a thriller. You will understand how science actually moves and probably stop falling for, like, randos trying to sell you supplements online. So underrated. She spent a year eating only what her family could grow. This will change how you look at every single meal. The OG, 3,000 years old and still the blueprint for literally every single story that you love. Read it once, you will see its bones and everything. And a bonus, this one's mine. It is a beach read that's secretly about ambition, power, getting pushed out of the company you built. Smart and hot. It comes out September 29th.
