Anil Nathoo - 1 Hour Guide

Welcome to the 1 Hour Guide!

My name is Anil Nathoo and this is my little corner of the internet exploring leadership, technology & curiosities. This is a place where my love for books and fascination with AI tech tools come together in a symphony of discovery.

If you’ve ever felt the thrill of getting lost in a story, the satisfaction of finding that perfect tool for the job, or the wonder of stumbling upon something totally unexpected, then you’re in for a treat.

Join me as I share my thoughts on the books that have captured my heart, the tools that have transformed my work and play, and the curious items that have sparked my imagination.

Together, let’s dive into a world where every page turned, every tool wielded, and every oddity explored adds a new brushstroke to the masterpiece of life’s journey.
