One of the goals I have for this year is to read 50 books, which means one book per week, and I thought that it would be nice to share with you what I have been reading so far.
The following is a list of all the books I read (cover to cover) in january and february.
Law of Attraction
This is a good book on the law of attraction and NLP and it’s full of exercises to unlock your inner power.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
I read the italian version of the book, and I was delighted. Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance is an awesome book (which has very little to do with motorcycle maintenance). I highly recommend to read this book if you haven’t already.
Brain Rules
This is a book on the human brain. You can find a detailed review here: brain rules review
Eat That Frog
I had already read this book two years ago, but I thought about reading it again because it’s a tremendous motivational book. Short and sweet.
Mind Hacks
I bought this book in Seattle two years ago and read it for the second time this year. This book is full of explanations of how our brain and mind works, and many, many examples of all the theory behind. I recommend this book to all the curious people.
Born to Run
This is possible the most fascinating book I have read in a long time. It doesn’t matter if you are a runner or not, you should read this book as soon as possible.
The 4-Hour Workweek
This is the updated version of the original book. It’s a very good book on escaping the 9 to 5 life, and you should definitely apply the advices you find on this book (so maybe you’ll start working from home like I do).
Design Elements – A Graphic Style Manual
This is a book on the basis of design. I am a complete newbie on design, but I really enjoyed this book.
Tribes
This is a fantastic book by Seth Godin in which he talks about creating communities and how everyone is a leader. Should be required reading to everyone.
Conclusion
I had a lot of fun reading all of these books. Note that one book per week means less than one hour per day if you read slowly and take notes (like I do), so it’s not impossible at all.
I have also started reading some other books, mostly technical, but I will post their titles once I have finished reading them, as they take more time to completely read and understand.
