I recently downloaded the Goggins book and will start reading it in the next few days. It peaked my interest because I just finished reading "Living with a Seal" by Jesse Itzler. Itzler's book is a light read and I really enjoyed the book.

I've recently read:

"Life 3.0" by MIT's Max Tegmark about the rise of AI. I thought that it was excellent and thought provoking. It explores short, medium, and (very) long term effects of AI on society, earth, and even our galaxy and universe. It is mildly technical, but generally written for the lay person.

"Brief Answers To Big Questions" by Stephen Hawking. This was his last book, published posthumously by his estate. I found it very disappointing. It's a "popular" book, lacking any real scientific detail. But beyond that, it appears to be cobbled together quickly from some of his various prior writings to capitalize on the notoriety of his death. Entire paragraphs are repeated unintentionally throughout the book, and it looks like it never received even a "Microsoft Word" level of copy editing.

"Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by David Griffiths. I've been reviewing basic QM again as part of my dabbling in the void between QM and General Relativity. (I originally studied both topics formally in school long ago.) IMO, it's an excellent treatment of QM -- the math is not for the faint of heart, but the narrative is good on its own.

I am reading the Star Force series by B.V. Larson. It's free if you have Amazon's Kindle unlimited.
