Ask HN: 2018 Summer Reading List?
Can anyone recommend some book about Africa? I would like to gain some insights about life there, ideally fact based, maybe some history? Doesn't need to be the whole continent as well, would love to start with any particular country.This year I decided to read at least one book a month the ones I found most inspiring were:
* Factfulness - how we can misinterpret the data and how most of us have a wrong idea about the state of the world
* Let my people go surfing - growing a business organically, doing the last harm and taking care of your people. This book inspired me to start my own business and follow some of the ideas presented in this book.
* When breath becomes air - memories of a neurosurgeon battling cancer. Very insightful and important read about dying. In a way it's a heavy book, I cried multiple times when reading it.
