Bill Gates: Books to read, TV to watch and things to do this summer
May 22, 2020
It's well documented that reading can help to improve your mental health and improve your cognitive ability. Bill Gates recommends a number of books, both fiction and non-fiction, based on science and personal memoirs. He also suggests both TV shows and online games to play, to pass the time during COVID-19 lockdown.
Most of my conversations and meetings these days are about COVID-19 and how we can stem the tide. But I’m also often asked about what I am reading and watching—either because people want to learn more about pandemics, or because they are looking for a distraction. I’m always happy to talk about great books and TV shows (and to hear what other people are doing, since I’m usually in the market for recommendations).
So, in addition to the five new book reviews I always write for my summer book list, I included a number of other recommendations. I hope you find something that catches your interest.

My 2020 summer book recommendations
The Choice, by Dr. Edith Eva Eger . This book is partly a memoir and partly a guide to processing trauma. Eger was only sixteen years old when she and her family got sent to Auschwitz. After surviving unbelievable horrors, she moved to the United States and became a therapist. Her unique background gives her amazing insight, and I think many people will find comfort right now from her suggestions on how to handle difficult situations.
