Best reads and jams from my 30s
Reads
Clarity and Connection, by Yung Pueblo
Written in an easy-to-read poetic form, Yung takes us from detangling self-awareness all the way to growing into a new life and what those changes can feel like.
Great for: those who may be feeling a bit lost and want to listen more to the messages our bodies send us.
In this Economy - Kyla Scanlon
The funnest, easiest to grasp financial book I have ever read. Filled with metaphors and illustrations, Kyla takes us through the most complex financial concepts with ease.
Great for: those looking to level up their financial game.
The Algebra of Wealth - Scott Galloway
If the above is a book about finances, Algebra of Wealth is a book about our relationship with money. In a funny, evidence-based tone, Professor Scott Galloway takes us through the factors driving our decision-making and their impact on growing our wealth.
Great for: those who want to go deeper after reading Psychology of Money.
How to collect art - Magnus Resch
Helpful for both amateur and mature collectors alike, Magnus shares his frameworks for understanding artists, galleries, and collectors.
Great for: those who are looking to include art within their investment portfolio or those who want to understand the art industry in more depth.
The Learning Game, by Ana Lorena Fabrega
This book is an education rebellion. An attempt at understanding why we concluded that the best way to prepare kids for the future is to cluster them into classrooms by age and grade, forcing them to learn the same things, at the same time and pace, seven hours a day, five days a week, for twelve years.
Great for: those doubting the education status quo and looking for answers

Million Dollar Weekend, by Noah Kagan
This is the kind of book that makes you realize how much we're in our heads when it comes to launching businesses. In a funny yet real way, Noah takes us through how we can validate a business in a day in only a few days and get our first customers. He is brilliant at helping us get over our heads and build.
Great for: aspiring entrepreneurs who are looking to take the leap but feeling stuck.
Venture Deals, by Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson
Called by many the VC bible, this book truly delivers on its promise. It doesn't assume any previous knowledge and instead, it deconstructs even the most complex of financial terms in an engaging way.
