Reads - Merry Do

Books preserve knowledge over time. A good book takes years to write, and even after many years, it continues to be read and appreciated, like wine that gets better with age.
To me, they’re one of the most valuable things we have.

Here are some books I’ve read and what I took away from them.

SQL for Data Analysis (2026)

I just finished reading this book to improve my skills, and it turned out to be a solid, industry-standard read.

Deep Work (2025)

This book helped me step away from noise and social media, so I can use my time more wisely and focus on what truly matters to me.

Thinking fast & slow (2025)

I have to say I really love this book. It inspired me a lot to move toward a data analyst career, and it gave me a new way of looking at things through a data-driven lens.

Storytelling with data (2025)

This book made me realize how weak I am at creating charts :v, and telling stories with data. It’s a hands-on read that helps you improve your skills and mindset for better data visualization right away.

Hell Yeah or No (2026)

A thoughtful and respectful author who shares his own story. This book helped me build a better mindset and think more about living a meaningful life. I keep coming back to it whenever I feel stuck.
