booksmarts is not the same as having a high IQ! apologies that the hook is a bit misleading (was just trying to make it entertaining)

For anyone studing history, I'd 100% recommend "A Little History of the World", by EH Gombrich, it's a short, delightful book, whenever we start a new chapter in History, I'l always read the corresponding chapter in the book.

Honestly don’t even worry about this. I’ve been reading on my own for a while now, and I’ve noticed that my scores on English assignments, tests, and exams as well as the ACT have been fairly high, with a lot less studying than for other sections. Just read something everyday, whether it’s actually an informative book or just some novel.

Knowledge isn't intelligence to me. It's just a good memory. What you do with that knowledge, that's intelligence.

A short history of nearly everything is a top notch recommendation.

Step 1) walk out of the bookstore and into the library
It’s literally free and tbh they’re more likely to have all the books you’re looking for or a way to get them.

In that order

I've read sapiens and I must say, it is one of the best books I have ever read. It explains concepts we humans were afraid to consider before, and it explains it in the most efficient and simple way possible. Definitely recommend it 10/10🎉

Hidden Time Wealth blew my mind. I’ve shared it with friends, and they’re all amazed at how much more productive theyve become.

Another book I would suggest reading is The Art of War by Sun Tzu. It’s an amazing book Focusing on military strategy, psychology and tactics. Each section concentrates on a different facet of warfare and draws out important themes such as communication, strength and positioning. It is quite hard to read for a beginner or a non-native English speaker but it’s a timeless classic of East Asian culture and history and is still taught in some colleges today.

Bro i would walk into a bookstore and the second i see the manga section i forget abt everything and go there💀

Two STEM books and some test prep? How about Toni Morrison, Chinua Achebe, Ralph Ellison, Issac Asimov, Octavia Butler, Amy Tan, Dostoyevsky? Where is the culture? Where is the passion? When do we learn to think and to love?

[axiomatic_jellyfish]

Sapiens is one of my favorites books of all time!
