5 Dec 2021 4 minute read 7 comments cryotosensei

I picked up "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" in my 20s and actually gave up reading halfway. Back then, my priority was travelling, and I had a knack for seizing opportunities that would allow me to travel for free. My biggest achievement was winning a 3D2N tri...

Nobody But Us is being touted as a must-read of 2022, and I can completely see why. Topical, cleverly constructed and a book that was very hard to put down. The book starts at our end point, and I’m always a sucker for stories where we’re working our...
