As I previously wrote, Readers are Leaders, I have really tried to dramatically increase quality and quantity of my book consumption. It has worked. I’ve gone from 10-20 books in 2019 to 30-40 a year (past 12 months). My ideal target is 52 plus — 1 book a week. This year I did a few more than last, but also wrote a book (more on that later), so I’m pretty happy with the effort.
Without more delay, here is a list of most of the books I have read in the past year. Most of them were recommended to me and now I recommend them to you. If you ever want specific book recommendations please reach out.
