Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions

Tons, the book "Algorithms to live by" go head first into this - https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Live-Computer-Science-Deci...

It can sound a bit simple at first, but the human - algo stories are terrific.

As you get older, you should read fewer new books, and revisit the ones that have you the most joy. Vacation sounds like a great place for that!

Edit: why? Because you believe in the leverage algorithms can provide https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Live-Computer-Science-Deci...

There are probably a lot of single people here that would benefit from that book as well (the stopping problem)

We all "know" the algos. But reading/hearing how they can be applied and what effect they can have on your life can be enlightening.

I can also recommend "Algorithms to Live By", by Brian Christian & Tom Griffiths. https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Live-Computer-Science-Deci...

Super accessible.

The Nash equilibrium for an unlimited vacation policy is no vacation for anyone.

As an avid reader, I've been jumping back in to the world of literature after quite a long sabbatical. I purchased a Kindle back in December of 2015 and it's been a great investment thus far.

Basically, I read tons of non fiction and follow breaking tech news on sites like these so I get a little burnt out when I go to read books like:

- Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions (https://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Live-Computer-Science-Decisions/dp/1627790365)

- Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (https://www.amazon.com/Sapiens-Humankind-Yuval-Noah-Harari/dp/0062316095)

I recently read:

- Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore: A Novel (https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Penumbras-24-Hour-Bookstore-Novel/dp/1250037751)

last fall and loved it; diving back into the world of fiction and fantasy. Do y'all have any other suggestions?

This is a bit vague, but here are some suggestions
