Brian Hamachek's Book Recommendations

I am a software engineer and entrepreneur living in Palo Alto, CA.

I am also on Instagram,<br>LinkedIn,<br>Github, Medium, and Quora. I've previously worked<br>at companies<br>such as Microsoft, HP, StorSimple, and Portworx. I also co-founded a social networking app<br>named Nearby<br>and grew it to over 13 million users. I am currently the CTO of Vently, and I'm building Rally, a tennis matchmaking app.

About this website

This website is a collection of the best books I've read. Nearly all of my reading happens in audiobook form, and every book recommended here is available as an audiobook. I've organized them by category and added a<br>short description of each book. I don't necessarily agree with the premise of every book here, but I find seeing things from multiple perspectives interesting. My hope is that someone is able to get as much from these books as I<br>have. Also, if you have any recommendations, please let me know!
