Books I read this year

Unlike Ray Dalio, when Bill Gates talks about something like books it never feels like he's trying to impress anyone.

It's "here are some books I really like and maybe you would too" versus "I am a genius, if you enjoy these books you might be a genius too."

To be fair, Bill Gates doesn’t need to impress anyone. He could say “the sky is purple” and he would be as impressive an individual.

One has to admit it would feel a tad greedy for Bill Gates to be using Amazon affiliate links in his blog.

If anything, it would be nice if a "library affiliate link" could exist and the Gates foundation would donate to the library if you ended up borrowing the book in physical or electronic formats.

There is an element of that, but Ray Dalio didn't come from wealth like Bill Gates. I'd like to hear more about what you think regarding Dalio's books.
