On track to reach $300 in sales on KDP this month
If it happens it would be my best month in 5 years

The result of
1) Writing about what readers want, not what I want
2) Focusing only on self-publishing and no distractions

And listening to amazing people like @rocketshipalx 🚀

I have just published my first book of 2026

Another 6 (at least) in the pipeline

Pretty busy weekend
But here I am at 8 pm on Sunday
Writing, building and investing on me and my family's future

I think today I'll have to take the metro

I am definitely gonna buy those 5 books
But which one should I read first?

Launched my Quantum Physics for Beginners book in December
Almost 200 copies sold already

Looking good and planning at least 6 more books in 2026!

First lasagna of 2026 Is already in the oven

Rage-bait posting: +3 followers in 3 months
Posting about the book I just wrote: +50 followers in 3 days

Nice to know!

All the books that helped write a decent introduction to Quantum Physics for Beginners

Plus the kindle ones
Plus the pdfs and articles

No way!

I don't deserve to be next to Feynman and Shankar
But will enjoy while it lasts

Last week I asked for a few recommendations for non fictions books

Got a lot fo feedback
If you are looking for something to read in the next days, these are the top ones!

Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions!
I think I have plenty to read until February at least

Earlier this month I published a new book

After the free promo sales dropped drastically
But now they are picking up in the last few days

I like this trend, it looks quite healthy

I thought I read everything Feynman wrote but I was wrong

In his Nobel lecture, I found this entertaining account of how he got the idea of the path integral into a conversation with Herbert Jehle while drinking beer at Princeton

The importance of drinking (and socializing)

Finally, snow!

I have been living in warm countries for 30+ years of my life and I realized I really enjoy cold and dry winters

I mostly feel awful in European cities like Milan in summer, with super high humidity and 35 degrees
Instead a walk in the park with -5 or -10 makes leaves me focused

Struggling to keep my focus, on thing trusting the process and hoping for the best

I launched my book at the end of November and it's been a little underwhelming so far, but I keep high hopes

Check it all in my November report (link in the nex post) ⤵️

I don't like the Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, but it's mostly a matter of taste, as with all the interpretations.

Among them, the only ones I like are the spontaneous collapse theories. Because they can be falsified and constrained by experiments.
Unlike MWI

Which one are you

Why everybody uses spins to explain quantum entanglement?

I think this explanation is much much easier to understand

Einstein was the only one that understood Planck's hypothesis
Better than Planck himself

So ahead of his time

Quick reminder that AI is still the most trending* niche to build products
Productivity and Dev Tools miles behind

I often remind myself that Planck was 43 when he changed Physics forever

I'm 42 so there are still have a few months

This is so fucked up!
Failed Italian newspaer organizes meeting about the Economy of the Future.
Invites
4 University professors
2 politicians
2 influencers

Where are the entrepreneurs that will build the future of Italy?

I just took the top spot in Free Nuclear Physics books on Amazon

Enjoying it while it lasts

Took me a bit of fine tuning with css and pandoc but I am pretty happy with my ebook design right now

Gonna have bloody nightmares for weeks
Thanks grok
