    Nice list, I was expecting other types of books though. The one I'd recommend would be 'Ludwig Wittgenstein On Color'. Wittgenstein is a Austrian-British philosopher with a very unique look at... everything actually. In 'On Color' his thoughts and logic think experiments about color are collected. It's a really interesting and thought provoking book to read, especially when you're a designer. It gives a new perspective on color that goes away from the functional aspect of color, on which we seem to focus a lot.

    Every time I watch your content I find something useful! I would really love to hear more about video/filmmaking since you guys are producing so much video content. I find that sometimes I struggle to translate ideas from the design/branding business practices to an equivalent strategy for creating video as a business. Thanks for all you're doing!

    Seems like a good list. I was getting a very Reading Raibow vibe after a while 😁 FWIW, I would recommend anything by Seth Godin or a book I just finished called, "Pitching Ideas: Make People Fall in Love with Your Ideas." It's written by Jeroen van Geel.

    So, what would be the best (or favorite) novel you would recommend ?
    Personally I think fiction is also very interesting to develop a creative mind and enrich imagination, and sometimes even give unexpected clues for any kind of matter in life and I would be curious to know what you guys read.
    One of my favorite : Hyperion and the Fall of Hyperion.
    An insane and visionary sci-fi novel that goes beyond a simple futuristic story and decrypts a lot of the mechanisms of human civilization through the tales of a strange pilgrimage and space geopolitics.

    I'd just like to emphasize the importance of reading books from areas like philosophy, psychology, science etc. as well, because opening our minds towards as many different perspectives as possible, helps us get to know ourselves better and if we look at the world as a construct of our brain based on perception, we can conclude that knowing ourselves better = knowing the world better...
