Love this selection, Bobby. Biographies are such underrated teachers! They give us an unfiltered view of how people wrestle with purpose, failure, and growth. I especially appreciate how your list balances well-known figures like Steve Jobs and Tiger Woods with unexpected stories like Danny Rensch’s Dark Squares.

It’s a reminder that wisdom doesn’t just come from success, but from the struggles and contradictions that shape each life. Adding a few of these to my reading list :)

Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks Kazuki! Yeah, I've been surprised by how hard-hitting some biographies/memoirs have been about lesser-known people. I really enjoyed Rensch's one and blew through it.
