Reading and acquiring new knowledge holds a special place in my heart because I see it as being mentored by some of the greatest minds in the world. Since I believe in life long learning and bettering myself in any way I can, I am an avid reader and that will never change.
In 2019, my goal is to read 2-3 books a month depending on their lengths. I can already hear some of you gasping for air but let me reassure you. My plan to reach this goal is to mix both reading physical / digital books and listening to audiobooks. I like the action of reading but I want to give audiobooks a try to see if they enable me to do more of what I love more efficiently.
I should also mention that as important as the number of books I read is, I am going to be focusing on retaining and applying what I learn in each book more than ever before.
Here is my 2019 reading list (so far) in no particular order.
- Deep Work by Cal Newport
- Dare to Lead by Brené Brown
- I Declare War by Levi Lesko
- The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson
- (Un)qualified by Steven Furtick
- The Five Temptations of a CEO by Patrick M. Lencioni
- You are a Badass by Jen Sincero
- Purple Cow by Seth Godin
- The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
- Don’t Settle for Safe by Sarah Jakes Roberts
- Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend
- Imperfect Courage by Jessica Honegger
- The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown
- How to be a Bawse by Lilly Singh
- Running with the Giants by John Maxwell
These are the books I’ve settled on so far. I need to add several more books to this list so send me suggestions and let me know which books you will be reading next year!
