Classic: Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. One of the best books I’ve ever read. Entertaining and deep thoughts included! The only philosophical, sci-fi comedy book you need.

I’ve been reading Babel by R F Kuang and greatly enjoying it.

Essentialism by Greg McKeown.

Changed how I think about work and makes me hyper-aware of when I or anyone I work with says that we “have” to do something. Getting into the mindset that everything I do at work is my choice has helped me feel more in control of my workday and get more done as well.

Thank you for sharing your recommendation, but I'm afraid that this book contains misinformation and promotes conspiracy theories that are not supported by evidence. I would kindly ask that you refrain from posting recommendations for this book in the future, as it is not in line with the standards and guidelines of HN.

Sorry for the posting and thank you for the reply. I would recommend you read this book as RFK Jr references many of the facts in this book. More and more evidence is being revealed to directly support RFK's assertions. Please send me a few of the "conspiracy theories that are not supported"? Have a pleasant day.
