Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft and for many year the richest man in the world, writes a blog describing the books he's reading. He started this blog in 2012. His interests are diverse: in 2018 alone he read books about education, economics, meditation, warfare, genetics, leadership, and many more subjects. You can find his book blog here. It is a thoughtful discourse on books that delve into who we are, how we got this way, and the ideas that can improve the world. He celebrates innovators and deep thinkers.
His most recent post, published this week, is about a book written by his wife, Melinda Gates. The book is titled The Moment of Lift : How Empowering Women Changes the World and you can read about it in his blog here and on evoke ("A community of optimists") here.
The Worcester Public Library currently has on display some of the books Gates has recommended. You can find them on the 2nd floor near the elevator. Some of the titles available there to borrow are Collapse : How Societies Choose to Fall or Succeed by Jared Diamond, Awakening Joy by James Baraz and Shoshanna Alexander, and Whistling Vivaldi : How Stereotypes Affect Us and What We Can Do by Claude Steele.
Read them and learn what Bill Gates knows!
