These books shape better humans. They are the ones that hit different! Books that trigger your paradigm shift and rewire your reality!
Promise to yourself integrity, self-realization, and transformation, instead of just “good books”.

Plato talked about the decline of Democracy as being Ochlocracy.
You know my friends, people love to be told what to think; whether that being media, school, etc. That’s the main reason corruption exists and thrives.
If you don’t embrace your responsibility, think and act on your own, and make yourself familiar with:
1. The “Virtuous Circle and Vicious Circle”.
2. The “Dunbar’s Number”.
3. The “Iron Law of Oligarchy”.
you’ll never escape from the thick bubble around you and from the consequences of:
1. Pseudo-groups.
2. The Dunning-Kruger effect.
When people have limited social caring, they can’t scale (or they scale poorly), and therefore collapse into cliques.
If you are linked in to an Ongoing Online Network, don’t get discouraged, just keep working on becoming a “Super-Connector” and on the “Preferential Attachment” phenomenon.
Stretch by Scott Sonenshein
Constraints can help you succeed. Here are four ways to become a stretcher, not a chaser:
1. Broaden experiences.
2. Act without planning.
3. Erase negative expectations.
4. Create unthinkable combinations.
So…
A good book, will answer your questions. 
A great book, will question your answers. 
Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
It seems that people were the most happy, when they were engaged in tasks with a clearly defined goal and objectives.
Under these circumstances, they would stay concentrated, undistracted, and exhibit steady progress, toward the fullfilment of that goal.
Incerto Series by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
The best time to start a business, is right after a crash!
The bad times make the strong stronger and the weak weaker.
Get ready for what’s coming, don’t run and hide.
Be Antifragile, not a Snowflake.
New Frontiers in Social Innovation Research by Alex Nicholls, Julie Simon, and Madeleine Gabriel
Passports are like books. Some people hate reading. 🔭 🔬
Look at this little treasure that my wife Stephania brought me back in 2018! 😄😎
A new dawn of thought, taking inspiration from this great edited volume on “New Frontiers in Social Innovation Research”. A useful resource for entrepreneurs, innovators, and policy makers. Because, practice moves faster than theory!
A solid academic collection that pushes the boundaries of social innovation thinking.
It explores emerging research areas, from collaborative models and public-sector innovation to multi-actor networks and policy implications—perfect if you’re into transformational thinking applied at a systemic/societal level rather than just individual leadership.
Not a light read, but highly relevant for forward thinkers interested in how innovation drives real social change with integrity at its core. Great pick for deeper, research-backed inspiration on scaling impact!
