Sai Gaddam
Ogi Ogas
In this book, neuroscientists Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam analyze a vast amount of online data, including web searches, erotic stories, videos, and personal ads, to understand human sexual behavior. Their research highlights the differences between male and female sexual cues, with men's brains resembling a 'reckless hunter' and women's brains acting like a 'cautious detective agency.' The book provides insights into why men are attracted to images and why women's desires are harder to predict, offering a revolutionary understanding of human sexuality similar to Alfred Kinsey's work in the 1950s.
Mindset
The New Psychology of Success
Carol S. Dweck

Dweck shows how these mindsets influence success in school, work, sports, and personal relationships. She also discusses how to adopt a deeper, truer growth mindset, and how this can transform individual and organizational cultures.
