The main premise of the book is that we have too much faith in human judgement. Throughout the book, Kahnemann presents

Homer’s book tells the tale of Odysseus, who is trying to return to his homeland of Ithaca after being stranded abroad for years. We follow him on his journey as he battles Gods, nymphs, the elements and rivals trying to claim his throne.

As the pandemic started to spread across the world in the early parts of the year, I sought out a book detailing a similar virus that stalked the planet one hundred years ago, the Spanish Flu.

Pale Rider is a useful book to read if you want to understand about the Spanish Flu and how it changed the world. It provides some hints at what we can come to expect once we come out on the other side of the Coronavirus pandemic.

The Silk Roads is one of the best history books I’ve ever read. And I say that as a history graduate who read many a book during my studies. This is a long book, coming in at over 600 pages, but stick with it and you’ll be rewarded.

Peter Frankopan weaves together two thousand years of history into one book and shows how the silk road was intertwined with the rise and fall of empires and nations throughout the ages.

and emotional wellness both feed into the stability, equability, and longevity of our partnerships. You need to know how your potential partner is feeling about things, but you also need to notice — from a distance — how they handle or deal with their emotions. This relationship (between individual and their feelings) is closely tied to their reactions and interaction with others and their environment in general.

Pale Rider is a fascinating look at life in the midst of a pandemic that killed somewhere between 50 to 100 million over three years from 1918 to 1921. Looking back today with three vaccines on the verge of being approved, it’s incredible to think how different things were back then and how far we’ve come.

I won’t spoil what happened to the boys from Tonga, but Golding’s premise that underneath it all, we’re self-interested individuals with demons raging inside of us, isn’t as true as he might have thought.

The book delves into various personal stories and describes how the virus made its way around the world after the end of the First World War. Even in an age where mass travel wasn’t commonplace, the virus managed to find its way to all corners of the globe.

This really is a fantastic book, I can’t praise it enough. As well as being a brilliant story, The Odyssey contains a lot of moral lessons that we could learn from, such as the value of perseverance and treating the people we met with respect.

Another that had been on my ever-expanding reading list for too long, Thinking Fast and Slow blew my mind in a multitude of ways. If you want to understand how your brain works this is the book for you!

It’s different from most other history books due to its breadth and focus on economic aspects of history. But this is what makes it such a good read. The perspective it presents is different from what many of us are used to and provides much food for thought at how small changes or decisions can have huge reverberations.

Written by the psychologist Daniel Kahnemann, the book looks at the various cognitive biases that dictate our lives. It’s a fascinating read that explains how many of us are beholden to these biases more than we might realise.

For a book that was written over two thousand years ago, it’s remarkable how well it holds up in the present day. The story is lucid, engaging and when I put the book down, I found myself itching to know what happened next.

Considering the sheer number of people who lost their lives to the Spanish Flu, it’s amazing that it had almost seeped out of the public consciousness until we faced a similar reality ourselves.
