Bad Blood by John Carreyrou

Bad Blood by John Carreyrou

I am really astonished by this book. How a stupid college graduate fooled the a lot of wealthy and educated people. It seems really ironic. If this book is true about the people and events it's been written then I must say this would be my first time seeing a beautiful but treacherous villain. I always thought those of kind liar and deceptive people only exist in movies. But this Prinston dropout fooled the whole world almost a decade.

When you keep reading it, it makes you hate the central characters of the book which are Elizebeth Holmes and Sunny her Old, arrogant and condescending jackass boyfriend. It is literally very much frustrating seeing how she always gets away with her lies and deceptions. In the beginning no problem she might have thought she would be able to build that kind of a sophisticated device, but after ten years she must have realized she is kidding herself and wasting millions of dollars of investors. However she kept going. It is obvious that she has lost her conscious in the process of becoming rich. I never hated any character this much and weirdly this character is real and very much alive, breathing right now. It may take some time, in her case a lot of time but eventually the truth prevails. After a decade of lying, her lie finally caught up and she lost everything plus her reputation and dignity if only she had any.

I think this was of the best non fictions I have ever read. It was incredible, I believe. You will definitely enjoy the book especially during reading when you keep searching about facts given in the book on google. It's all there and some of the characters which were Theranos employees or Ex-employee to be correct.

Best of Luck.
Enjoy

Lost in this Strange World

when I was a kid I thought I will figure out everything when I am younger, but apparently, that was just a childish dream of mine. I had thought by this age I would understand most things and would be able to make decisions about my life so easily. It is just so hard to make peace with the fact that I will never figure out everything and that I will always have doubts. I don't want to sound ungrateful because I really am not. I understand that the life I am living right now is a dream for thousands of young people in my homeland. However, I am not happy. I just don't know why? The reason for my unhappiness might be the people around me most of whom are impossible to understand. I work in a very prestigious international humanitarian organization but I don't like it here as much as I should. most of the people working here are insanely stupid and unbelievably arrogant. there is no teamwork. Every single department acts like an independent republic. No spirit of collaboration...

Beginning of 2026

This year started the same way as last year, busy and with too many works to do. During the first week of January 2026, besides handling my own responsibilities and tasks, I was the OiC for my supervisor, our MEAL Coordinator; and for the past two weeks, I have been the OiC for our Security Officer, who has gone to Jordan for the HEAT security training. So as you can see, I have been pretty. Nowadays, I am leading multiple assessments at the zonal level from different projects. Due to the load of work in my zone, a MEAL Officer had to be deployed here to support me in the MEAL assignments. Mr. B has been here since last Thursday. He is in the field leading a very important assessment on the ground while I am in the office for technical and admin-related tasks. Therefore, I have not been able to write anything in my journal or here itself. Sometimes I feel like I am drained out of energy and I can't do more, but again, I look around and see there are things I need to take ca...

The Things We Do For Love

The Things We Do For Love Love might be the greatest word, humans have ever created. It is pure and simple, at the same time; it is dangerous and complicated as well. It possesses the power to destroy you; it has also the ability to transform you into something that even you can’t recognize. People tend to forget who they are when they are in love. They tend to go way beyond and way ahead; too high and too far; too deep indeed. Lovers don’t give a f*ck about rights or wrongs; about goods or evils; about people or things; about dead or alive. They want what they want; they want each other, nothing more and nothing less, that’s what they want. People say the heart wants what the heart wants; it’s indeed true. Love appears to be one way street, there is no turning back. People seem to thrive when they are in love. It can also be proven self-destructive as ...
