    E27 “The Manager’s Path” by Camille Fournier

    Camille Fournier’s The Manager's Path is an essential practical guide and reference manual for leaders navigating the unique intersection of "engineering" and "management." Crafted for everyone who works in or around software engineering, its primary focus is on engineering managers at all levels, from those just starting out to seasoned leaders. Rather than offering generic advice, it answers the fundamental questions managers face by structuring its guidance along the typical career path of an engineer. The book’s authority is forged in the crucible of high-growth tech leadership. Fournier draws directly from her journey at Rent the Runway, where her role scaled from managing a small team to running all of engineering as CTO. The book is the direct result of her documenting everything she learned while succeeding and struggling in this environment, effectively creating a field manual for technical leadership. This crucible of hands-on experience forms the foundation of the book's core themes, providing a clear roadmap for leaders at every level.

    E26 “Russia's War on Everybody” by Keir Giles

    Serhii Plokhy’s The Russo-Ukrainian War: The Return of History presents the full-scale 2022 invasion not as an isolated event, but as the violent culmination of a conflict initiated in 2014. The book’s fundamental argument frames the war as an old-fashioned imperial conflict, driven by Russia's deep-seated historical ambitions, against which Ukraine is fighting a definitive war of independence. Plokhy’s work is aimed at an audience seeking a longue durée historical perspective to understand the conflict's origins far beyond contemporary headlines. The author poses the book's central questions directly: "What made such a war of aggression possible? What made the Ukrainians resist as they did...? Finally, what will be the most important consequences of the war for Ukraine, Russia, Europe, and the world?" As a Harvard historian of Ukrainian origin, Plokhy is a preeminent authority on the subject. His analysis provides an indispensable framework for policymakers, journalists, and strategists, dismantling the Kremlin's historical justifications and offering the definitive long-view needed to navigate the geopolitical fallout of this conflict, which he terms "the return of history" to Europe.

    E23 - “The Struggle for Taiwan” by Sulmaan Wasif Khan

    In The Struggle for Taiwan, Sulmaan Wasif Khan delivers a trenchant historical corrective to the dangerous narratives shaping the U.S.-China-Taiwan standoff. Drawing on his authority as an Associate Professor of International History and Chinese Foreign Relations at Tufts University’s Fletcher School and author of Haunted by Chaos, Khan systematically dismantles the "bizarre mix of lies, amnesia, and half-truths" employed by both Beijing and Washington. He argues this distorted history fosters a perilous faith in deterrence, demonstrating across 80 years of history that past standoffs were averted less by strategy than by sheer luck—a crucial lesson lost on today’s policymakers. The book challenges readers to confront the crisis beyond the headlines: Why are common historical justifications so misleading? What pivotal “roads not taken” might have secured a different fate for the island? And most urgently, how is a deep understanding of this past essential to averting a catastrophic future?

    E22 - “Waste Land: A World in Permanent Crisis” by Robert D. Kaplan

    In Waste Land, Robert D. Kaplan—the Robert Strausz-Hupé Chair in Geopolitics and author of seminal works like The Revenge of Geography and The Coming Anarchy—delivers a stark diagnosis of our global condition. His harrowing analogy is that the world has become "one big Weimar": a system "connected enough for one part to mortally influence the other parts, yet not connected enough to be politically coherent." This structural fragility, Kaplan argues, has plunged the globe into a state of "permanent crisis." This predicament compels an urgent inquiry into the defining questions of our era: Why does our technologically advanced world fragment under the pressure of cascading instability? What lessons can historical parallels, from the fall of empires to the Russian Revolution, offer about the perils ahead? Kaplan provides a vital guide for navigating the treacherous geopolitical landscape of the 21st century—a global "Waste Land" where anything is possible.

    E21 - “Untangle Your Emotions” by Jennie Allen

    For the millions who read Get Out of Your Head, bestselling author and IF:Gathering founder Jennie Allen delivers the necessary next step in Untangle Your Emotions. Drawing from her journey away from being a self-described "fixer," Allen reveals that many of us are emotionally tangled up in knots, experiencing disproportionate reactions to daily life due to unaddressed pain. The book invites readers to finally ask: Why do I have such overwhelming reactions to small triggers? What are my buried emotions trying to tell me? At its core is a liberating truth and paradigm shift: "feelings were never meant to be fixed; feelings are meant to be felt." Writing for everyone on the emotional spectrum—from the numb to the overwhelmed—Allen provides a biblically-grounded path to embrace feelings as God-given tools. This is a journey to untangle the knots that hold us back, unlocking the abundant, whole life found through deeper connection with God, others, and ourselves.

    E20 - “The Tears of Things” by Richard Rohr

    From globally recognized Franciscan friar Richard Rohr, the bestselling author of The Universal Christ, comes a profound reinterpretation of the Hebrew prophets for our modern “age of outrage.” In The Tears of Things, Rohr argues that the prophets are not angry predictors of doom but mystical guides who model a transformative spiritual path. This journey moves from righteous anger at injustice to a deep, empathetic sadness—what Rohr calls the prophetic “way of tears.” He reveals how true spiritual evolution requires embracing “holy disorder,” a necessary disruption of a failing status quo that ultimately leads to a “reorder” of higher consciousness, grace, and compassion. This book is essential for spiritual seekers, including those disillusioned with institutional religion, who are grappling with contemporary polarization and searching for a way to effect change from within. It powerfully answers the urgent question of how we can move beyond a religion of rules and scapegoating toward one of unconditional love and universal sympathy.
