Hey Everyone! Sorry for the tacky technical slang in the title. That is the best an engineering undergrad like me could come up with to discuss a book I have been reading for the past few hours. The book goes by the name “BUILD: An Unorthodox Guide To Making Things…

We were a bunch of primates who had gotten together and, against all odds, built a wondrous civilization. But paradoxically — tragically — our creation’s complexity had now far outstripped our brains’ ability to manage it. Last month when I realized a new Blake Crouch novel is about to be…

Recently, I came across this book summary on StoryShots of the ‘The Code of the Extraordinary Mind’ written by Vishen Lakhiani. The book has some interesting insights into how extraordinary minds perceive the world and what kind of way they think. …
