Cixin Liu's trilogy-opening novel about first contact with aliens and the clandestine struggle with them …
It was the perfect sci-fi book till I read 70% of it. Then it became science fantasy. To some extent.
But it is extremely well-written. The author is fantastic.
Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative is a book on coming up with creative …
A world-class mathematician and regular contributor to the New York Times hosts a delightful tour …
Fantastic book, self-contained small chapters, covers a huge breadth of the field with very interesting stories.
Despite this being a pop-sci book, it does not lose its mathematical rigor.
Absolutely fabulous and enjoyable. And truly edifying.
For anyone on and off the field, for anyone remotely interested in Mathematics.
I have an advanced degree in STEM, and yet I learned a lot of new things from this book.

Except for the penultimate chapter where a partner is required to do aikido shit, the book is an absolute gem full of actionable, practical, and useful advice.
I will highly recommend it.
I do not like self-help books generally, but this was a wild exception. I am glad that I picked this book up.
I am already applying advice learned from this book in my life, and they are already proving to be useful.
Give it a try.
What's better with this book, and why this book deserves a 5 star is that this book did not walk the path of other self-help books where a simple blogpost or two is shamelessly inflated to be a 300-page book, and wasting everyone's time. This book is very short and concise. You will be able to finish it in no time and be able to apply lessons learned to your life and …

No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving—every day. James Clear, …
Full of useful examples, lessons, and very pragmatic and practical. I am very glad that I picked it up.
One star is missing, because, just like many self help books, this suffers from the vice of unnecessary elongation.
This book could have had 30 pages less and be equally effective.
One full star removed for 30/40 pages? Not quite. The style of this book also matters. Whenever। a new concept is introduced, the author starts a story. This was true for all of the concepts. This was a little tiring to read.

If you ignore the stuff sbout god, and divinity and so on, you can learn a quite a few useful things from this book. I would recommend it, if you can overlook the references to god and divinity.
