I’ve finally managed to finish a few books which were pending for over 1 month now. I think all of them are good reads, and one of them you can even get it for free!
- The paradox of choice by Barry Schwartz
- Free by Chris Anderson
- Poor Charlie’s Almanack by Charlie Munger
The first book is about the abundance of choices that we have now and how’s that making our lives even more miserable. Maybe I don’t need a book to tell me that, but sometimes, there are things that we just don’t see. I’m a channel surfer. So imagine what an increase in number of channels do to me… Maybe I’ll just get rid of the television. 
The second book is about how “free” services are changing the business model of the future. The most popular free model I guess is Google with free search, free email, free word/spreadsheet software, free photo album etc. I’m also using the popular free WordPress engine to power this blog. You can get the book for free as an e-book or as an audio download here.
The third book is by Charlie Munger, the partner of Warren Buffett. I like his multi-disciplinary approach to tackle problems e.g. he uses psychology, physics, engineering, economics etc to understand and solve business problems. I also like the quote he used (which was quoted by Benjamin Franklin):
Appeal to interest, not reason.
This is speaking to me louder and louder each day… Hope you’ll enjoy these reads.
If you think this is worth sharing, do share it with your friends. Thank you for reading.
