I have been traveling alot recently and therefore reading more. I generally read books in four broad categories:
- Entrepreneurship
- Geo-politics
- Economic Development
- Neuroscience/education
The books I have been reading include:
- Disrupting Class by Clayton Christensen The HBS professor applies his disruptive innovation model to American schools. I recommend it to anyone interested in understanding the role of computers in education.
- Hackers and Painters by Phil Graham The founder of Y Combinator talks about computing, coding and startups. Good enough for my entrepreneurship class.
- Monsoon by Robert D. Kaplan This book explores the emerging importance of the Indian Ocean and traces the history for its importance
- What Science Offers the Humanities by Edward G. Slingerland Every humanities professor should read this book
- The Next Convergence by Michael Spence The Nobel Prize winner talks about the future of economic development
