Here are the other four books Gates recommends for the summer: “Lincoln Highway” by Amor Towles This coming-of-age novel documents three 18-year-olds and an 8-year-old on their frenzied road trip from Nebraska to California in an old Studebaker. “(Towles) seems to be saying that our personal journeys are never as linear or predictable as an interstate highway,” Gates writes. “Why We’re Polarized” by Ezra Klein The New York Times columnist dissects the inner workings of our current political polarization, offering a history of what got us to this point and also an examination of the underlying psychology. “The groups we self-identify as are a key part of who we are,” Gates writes. “Most of the time, these identities aren’t inherently positive or negative — but each one of them shapes the way we see the world.”
Two years into his college education, Gates dropped out of Harvard University to take a shot at life and start Microsoft. The business eventually made him a millionaire by 26. In 2010, the Harvard Crimson called Gates “Harvard’s most successful dropout”. In 2007, Gates came back to Harvard to accept an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. This award is given by the university without the need for the completion of the usual requirements of a certain degree. In 2009, Gates and Buffett established The Giving Pledge, where they and different very rich people made an agreement to give essentially 50% of their abundance to a good cause.
Put simply, Bill Gates has about two million times more money than the median US household income. It’s estimated that Gates is making about $11 million a day, and that’s not even the peak of his earnings. At one point, he had more than $150 billion. Bill Gates held the money title belt almost every year from 2000 to 2017. The only exception was the 2010-2013 period when Jeff Bezos gave him a run for his… well, money. As of 2022, Gates is the fourth richest person in the world after Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Bernard Arnault. If you wonder who that last guy is—he’s the chairman and CEO of the French conglomerate LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton).
Grand Transitions by Vaclav Smil : When Gates reviewed this book back in 2019, he called it “masterpiece” from “one of my favorite thinkers.” While he cautioned the book is “not for everyone” and that “long sections read like a textbook or engineering manual,” he also insisted that Smil’s examination of the growth of just about everything, from dinosaurs to the number of transistors on a computer chip, is nothing short of brilliant. “Nobody sees the big picture with as wide an aperture as Vaclav Smil,” Gates concluded.
