Hi,

Hope you are well. Today’s recommendations are:

Betaball: How Silicon Valley and science built one of the greatest basketball teams in history, by Erik Malinowski

If you are unsure of the importance of data and thinking in building sports teams (or any organisation), this book is a great foray into the unknown. However, if you want to know how data can be used to make a team better, I would not recommend this book.

The Etymologicon: a circular stroll through the hidden connections of the English language, by Mark Forsyth

This book does not teach you life lessons. It is a cool book on interesting origins of words, such as how science and shit have a common root, how campus and campaigns are related, etc… If you are caught in a reading rut or want a book with short two minute chapters, this is ideal.

Looking forward to writing to you tomorrow.
