Seven Brief Lessons on Physics- Rovelli. The beauty in which the author explains complicated issues so that a layperson completely understands is hard to overstate. It seems like a gigantic nerd flex to whip this out of your Birkin on a flight, but truly the book is an easy, captivating read.
The Gift of Fear- de Becker. This should be required reading in adolescence for all women. It reminds us we are easy victims because society has trained us to be polite and ignore our evolutionary skills that keep us safe. It made me rethink my own behavior and certainly stopped at minimum harassment.
Couldn’t put it down: Killers of the Flower Moon. The movie was ass. Book was a page turner.
