My recommendations for the holidays [https://gatesnot.es/40HC6x4]
[https://gatesnot.es/40HC6x4]
ByBill Gates [https://gatesnot.es/40HC6x4]| November 20, 2023
At the end of the year, it=E2=80=99s always fun to look back on some of the=
 best books I read. For 2023, three came to mind right away, each of them d=
eeply informative and well-written. I=E2=80=99ve also included economics co=
urses by a phenomenal lecturer that I watched more than a decade ago but am=
 still recommending to friends and family today. Just for fun, I threw in a=
 playlist of great holiday songs from past and present, and from the U.S. a=
nd around the world.
I hope you find something fun here to read, watch, or listen to. And happy =
holidays!
The Song of the Cell, by Siddhartha Mukherjee. [https://gatesnot.es/3T4hLk7=
] All of us will get sick at some point. All of us will have loved ones who=
 get sick. To understand what=E2=80=99s happening in those moments=E2=80=94=
and to feel optimistic that things will get better=E2=80=94it helps to know=
 something about cells, the building blocks of life. Mukherjee=E2=80=99s la=
test book will give you that knowledge. He starts by explaining how life ev=
olved from single-celled organisms, and then he shows how every human illne=
ss or consequence of aging comes down to something going wrong with the bod=
y=E2=80=99s cells. Mukherjee, who=E2=80=99s both an oncologist and a Pulitz=
er Prize=E2=80=93winning author, brings all of his skills to bear in this f=
antastic book.
Not the End of the World, by Hannah Ritchie. [https://gatesnot.es/3SMtpQd] =
Hannah Ritchie used to believe=E2=80=94as many environmental activists do=
=E2=80=94that she was =E2=80=9Cliving through humanity=E2=80=99s most tragi=
c period.=E2=80=9D But when she started looking at the data, she realized t=
hat=E2=80=99s not the case. Things are bad, and they=E2=80=99re worse than =
they were in the distant past, but on virtually every measure, they=E2=80=
=99re getting better. Ritchie is now lead researcher at Our World in Data, =
and in Not the End of the World, she uses data to tell a counterintuitive s=
tory that contradicts the doomsday scenarios on climate and other environme=
ntal topics without glossing over the challenges. Everyone who wants to hav=
e an informed conversation about climate change should read this book.
Invention and Innovation, by Vaclav Smil. [https://gatesnot.es/3upBBMo] Are=
 we living in the most innovative era of human history? A lot of people wou=
ld say so, but Smil argues otherwise. In fact, he writes, the current era s=
hows =E2=80=9Cunmistakable signs of technical stagnation and slowing advanc=
es.=E2=80=9D I don=E2=80=99t agree, but that=E2=80=99s not surprising=E2=80=
=94having read all 44 of his books and spoken with him several times, I kno=
w he=E2=80=99s not as optimistic as I am about the prospects of innovation.=
 But even though we don=E2=80=99t see the future the same way, nobody is be=
tter than Smil at explaining the past. If you want to know how human ingenu=
ity brought us to this moment in time, I highly recommend Invention and Inn=
ovation.
Online economics lectures by Timothy Taylor. [https://gatesnot.es/3uiWI2K] =
I=E2=80=99ve watched a lot of lecture series online, and Taylor is one of m=
y favorite professors. All three of his series on Wondrium are fantastic. T=
he New Global Economy teaches you about the basic economic history of diffe=
rent regions and how markets work. Economics is best suited for people who =
want to understand the principles of economics in a deep way. Unexpected Ec=
onomics probably has the broadest audience, because Taylor applies those pr=
inciples to things in everyday life, including gift-giving, traffic, natura=
l disasters, sports, and more. You can=E2=80=99t go wrong with any of Taylo=
r=E2=80=99s lectures.
A holiday playlist. [https://gatesnot.es/3R4dImg] This one doesn=E2=80=99t =
need much explanation. I love holiday music and have put together a list of=
 some favorites=E2=80=94classics and modern tunes, from the U.S. and around=
 the world.
You can find all these reviews on my blog now [https://gatesnot.es/40HC6x4]=
. Happy reading, viewing, and listening. And again, happy holidays.
Thanks for being an Insider.
