I have decided to try something new going forward. I read a lot of books and articles throughout the year, but I usually don’t share most of them. Therefore, I thought it would be interesting to share my monthly reading list and provide a brief takeaway from each book or article.
A Minute to Think—Juliet Funt: My takeaway: Be protective of your time and intentional about setting time aside for contemplation.
Hidden Potential—Adam Grant: My one-word takeaway is character. My more wordy version is character is everything, and everything is about building character. We must be intentional about building it, and Adam’s book gives you a great framework.
The Surrender Experiment – Michael Singer: I can’t put my finger on it but Michael’s books resonate with me. His writing is simple, straightforward, honest, and wholesome. There never seems to be a motive to sell you on his belief system or way of life. He just puts it out there for you to decide. I like that.
Million Dollar Weekend—Noah Kagan: I have followed Noah for years and love his brash, no-nonsense approach to life and building businesses. Million Dollar Weekend is a blueprint for setting up a business, with tons of practical application.
The Daily Pressfield – Steven Pressfield: Steven is one of my all-time favorite authors. Yes, this is a Daily Reader. Yes, he just released it a couple of months ago. Yes, I read it in a couple of weeks. Oops. It’s that good.
What do you think of the list? What book(s) are you reading right now? Curious: why did you choose to read them?
