Why it’s on the list: A critical-thinking book for business and life, pitched at the moment “before AI rules your world.” Built from the author’s MBA lectures on rational thinking.
Where I saw it: BookLab by Bjorn (@poorbjorn), October 25, 2026, holding an advance reader copy: “We go out of our way to make things more complicated than they need to be. We need to cultivate First Principle thinking is all areas of life.” The tweet gives the English release as November 1.
The book first came out in Romanian in 2015 (M-am săturat să fiu prost, Humanitas). The English edition, subtitled Critical Thinking for Business and Life Before AI Rules Your World, is due in November 2026.
