Pinker is a Pulitzer finalist and a professor of psychology at Harvard, so when he writes about the decline of violence, it matters. He cites Biblical references, Grimm’s fairy tales, and historical true stories about actual whipping boys meant to take lashes on behalf of royal princes. Full of statistics, and references to history and psychology, Pinker makes an argument against common sense: that our generations are more anti-violent on a moral basis than prior generations. Named a global thinker by Foreign Policy, and a top influencer by Time Magazine, his best books come highly recommended to those who need to wrestle with large concepts.

Gates has three offspring and you must think they are very lucky for they will amass all their father’s fortune eventually. But did you know that each of them will only inherit $10 million each? This is just a fraction of their father’s $81.1 billion net worth. “Leaving kids massive amounts of money is not a favour to them,” he explained in an interview. Even if multilingual people abound Gates’ family, he is monolingual and can only fluently speak in English. “I feel pretty stupid that I don’t know any foreign languages,” Gates admitted in an interview.

Bill Gates’ early life could easily be turned into a series, starting from his childhood home in Seattle and leading up to his success story. As a kid, he got bullied a lot, but that didn’t stop him from aiming high. His plans didn’t always coincide with those of his parents, though. Bill Gates’s family wanted to send him to law school, which would fit perfectly in the family history—his father was a lawyer. Bill Gates started writing software as a kid. Even before he graduated high school, it was obvious he wasn’t like the other children. At the age of 13, he made a version of tic-tac-toe on a General Electric computer. As a comparison, at the age of 13, I had just found out that ripped jeans are ripped on purpose. What were you doing at 13?
