Cloud Empires: How Digital Platforms Are Overtaking the State and How We Can Regain Control – release date: September 13, 2022

Discipline is Destiny – release date: September 27, 2022
One of my favorite CEOs includes embracing obstacles as part of his company’s core values. And he loves Ryan Holiday. Accordingly, I’m including Ryan’s next book to be released soon.

I’m hoping for an Audible version.

The Enduring Value of Roger Murray – release date: November 23, 2022
Another of the many long lists of books on value investing.
