In university I picked up some habits that I love: I started with podcasts (the general knowledge kind), and my favourites are The Knowledge Project by Shane Parrish and The Tim Ferriss Show. Eventually, I started reading lots of non-fiction books. Here are some of my favourite books, by genre:
Computer Science
- Microservices Patterns - Chris Richardson
- Designing Data Intensive Applications - Martin Kleppmann
- Thinking in distributed systems - Dominik Tornow
Psychology
- Why We Love - Anna Machin
- The Status Game - Will Storr
Philosophy
- The story of philosophy - Will Durant
- How to live - Sarah Bakewell
History
- Our Oriental Heritage (book 1/11 of The Story of Civilization) - Will Durant

Here are my other hobbies not yet implied
- Fingerstyle Guitar (like Tommy Emmanuel)
- Bingewatching (and snacking)
- Taking walks (like an elderly)
- Singing in the shower (like I'm trying to annoy my neighbors)
