#33 - Jul.2022

Is time for the mid-year checkpoint of the [books](https://www.cesarrg.com/tag/books/) I had read so far in 2022\. There is always a mix of topics that I jump across so I'm including a few insights in case you're interested in diving deep into any of these books:

1. **[The New One Minute Manager](https://www.amazon.com/New-One-Minute-Manager-ebook/dp/B00MMG19OG?ref=cesarrg.com) (K. H. Blanchard, S. Johnson)** **\-** This is a classic and was recommended to me some time ago. I like the simplicity of the ideas, wrapped within a story narrative on how to become a better manager.
2. **[Pequeno Manual Antirracista ](https://www.amazon.com/Pequeno-Manual-Antirracista-Autografado-Portugues/dp/8535932879?ref=cesarrg.com)(Djamila Ribeiro)** \- Djamila is a Brazilian activist and, in this book, she covers topics of structural racism in society and some handy tips on being more conscious about our daily biases.
3. **[Being You: A New Science of Consciousness](https://www.amazon.com/Being-You-Consciousness-Anil-Seth-ebook/dp/B07ZG1BXL5?ref=cesarrg.com) (Anil Seth)** \- This book was dense - in a good sense. Consciousness is one of the most complex and fascinating topics in science and Anil makes a great job navigating through what he believes is the origin of perceptions, emotions, and the self.
4. **[En Tierra de Todos ](https://www.amazon.com/tierra-todos-Pozo-Siquen-Spanish/dp/8429329242?ref=cesarrg.com)(José María Rodríguez Olaizola)** \- A loved how this Jesuit priest brings topics that most of the time we consider taboo within our Catholic-Religious debates, but they are so important to be addressed for us to evolve both socially and spiritually.
5. **[12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos ](https://www.amazon.com/12-Rules-Life-Antidote-Chaos/dp/0345816021?ref=cesarrg.com)(Jordan B. Peterson)** \- Through a mix of philosophical ideas and personal anecdotes Jordan's book tries to summarize key rules for a more fulfilling/happy life. Great insights for re-assessing your personal behavior and mental models.
6. [**Homo Sidera - Nascimento**](https://www.amazon.com/Homo-Sidera-Nascimento-Diego-Oliveira-ebook/dp/B0B2M9SZ79?ref=cesarrg.com) **(Diego de Oliveira)** \- This is in fact my first book of science fiction and was recommended by a friend (who is the author!). I need to admit that I was engaged in this interesting story - which combines physics, technology, time travel, and more - about an AI system and its journey to save its creators from a scary future due to climate change.
