I’m drawn to podcasts where curiosity meets expertise, where people who have spent years studying a subject bring research, experience, and thoughtful questions to the conversation. From ReThinking and Freakonomics Radio to A Bit of Optimism, Hidden Brain, The Rest Is Science, and Morgan Housel’s podcasts, I look for ideas that make me pause, rethink what I assumed, and see familiar things from a different perspective.

I have always been intrigued and challenged by logical reasoning and problem solving, especially when it connects with the elegance of mathematics. I find myself fascinated by the question of how we can optimize and make things work better. Perhaps the seed was sown in my early days, when I would spend time solving riddles from storybooks and puzzling over questions posed by my dad and sisters. That curiosity has stayed with me, turning into a lifelong enjoyment of puzzles, logic, mathematics, and the wonderfully unexpected ways our minds can make sense of the world.

Some books stay with you because they change the way you look at a problem, a decision, or even your own life. I am particularly drawn to books that explore human behavior, decision-making, purpose, resilience, and the choices we make with our limited time. Thinking, Fast and Slow, The Power of Habit, Die With Zero, Start With Why, Grit, and Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It are some that have made me stop, reflect, and occasionally rethink my own assumptions. I enjoy books that go beyond giving answers, books that leave you with a new lens through which to see yourself, others, and the world around you.

The area where I feel I could have done more. Not because life didn’t present challenges, but perhaps because I didn’t always challenge myself enough. There were moments when circumstances demanded more from me, and I stepped up to handle them, those are experiences I am genuinely proud of.
Yet, looking back, there is still a sense of a road not fully traveled, a quiet void that comes from knowing I could have pushed myself further, taken more risks, or stepped outside what was comfortable. Maybe that is what makes challenge interesting – it is not always about what life throws at us, but about what we choose to take on ourselves..
