|---|---|---|---|
| How to Build a Story Brand | Donald Miller | 2019 | It felt very fluffy and I stopped reading after 50 pages |

| The Mythical Man Month | Frederick P. Brooks Jr. | 2024 | |
| Clean Code | Robert C. Martin | 2024 | Advice makes sense, but it's very verbose and all examples are in Java implenting low-level things in website's that aren't relatable to me |
| The Black Swan | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | 2024 |
