Best Books I Read in 2022

Please note, these are not books that came out in 2022, but these are the best books I read in 2022.

Rising Above by Sean Rogers. Rogers talks about his childhood trauma, and how he overcame that to join the US Special Forces. A great story of post-traumatic growth and overcoming adversity. At one point in the book, he says that he doesn't want to see himself as a victim, and I think that's common that people don't want to view themselves as helpless, but at the same time, sometimes people have been wronged and they are victims. It's a fine line and grey area.

Never Split the Difference by Voss. Voss spent his career in law enforcement as a crisis negotiator. Since my Bachelor's is in psychology, I am particularly fascinated by the psychology of crisis negotiating, and negotiation in general.

Rogue Heroes by Macintyre. The story of the Special Air Service in World War II.

The Way Forward by O'Neill and Meyer.

Democracy in One Book or Less by David Litt. Litt was a speechwriter in the White House, and his writing is often humorous and filled with insight on politics.

War on Peace by Ronan Farrow. A view of the history of the US State Department. 

Hammerhead Six by Fry and Tuleia.
