This was a wonderful read, as a medical student on track to OB/GYN residency it was a nice revision. Highly recommend for everyone that wants to know how to take care of their body when it comes to "down there" XD
Designing Your Work Life: How to Thrive and Change and Find Happiness at Work by Bill Burnett, Dave Evans

It had really good chapters but really dragged it from 12-15. Otherwise good points.
Rich AF: The Winning Money Mindset That Will Change Your Life by Vivian Tu

Currently the best book out there on personal finance. She goes step by step on what you should do to get yourself into a better position with your finances. I have read multiple personal finance books but this is the first that goes into the detail that is actually needed and speaks to people of my generation.

This has been a good read about the importance of building social networks and how social networks influence us, but I would have loved it if the book covered how to build these networks.
Also, it seems like the authors never really consulted nor talked to women in the book, so the interpretation of the research when it comes to how people choose relationships was quite misleading. For example, when the authors claimed there is a matchmaking website that allows men to post only if they are recommended by a former girlfriend, using this as an example as to why it is the phenomena that women choose mates based on if other women are attracted to them. This is not quite accurate, as these groups are created for women to help other women avoid rapists and abusers.
Otherwise, the book was quite great.

This food debunks food and nutrition myths and gives an outlook on diet culture and the weight stigma that we have as a society. I can say it is a good read for those who want information on diet culture and weight myths but if you are looking for nutrition advice you wont get that much
