Reading List
Are you looking for good books to read? I’m sharing my reading list with the best books I recommend everyone to read. I strongly believe that reading, and educating yourself, is the answer to a better life. And ultimately, freedom. Nelson Mandela said it best:
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Out of the hundreds of books I’ve read in my lifetime, I have a small number of favorite books that I recommend.
On this page, you will find the best books that I’ve read—selected from the 600+ I’ve read until now. These books have changed my life. And every week, I read two new books. I update this list regularly.
Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi — Your ability to enjoy your work not only determines work satisfaction, but it also impacts how good you become at something. Flow is one of those books I think about every day. Getting in a flow state is something that actually changes the way you work and experience life.
Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins — What an inspirational story. Goggins is one of the most popular people in the world of personal development because he’s real. If you love running, you’ll get a lot out of this book. And if you don’t, you’ll still get motivated.
Productivity
Fiction
Post Office by Charles Bukowski — Bukowski is one of my main influences. Intellectualists (who take themselves way too seriously), hate Bukowski. They say he was a bad writer. I don’t care. His books are the funniest and most entertaining things that have ever been written. And Post Office is my favorite. I crack up every time I read it. If you haven’t read Bukowski, read his books in chronological order.
Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk — The only very familiar book on this list. I’ve referred to this book more often and I still enjoy it after all these years. It never gets old. And if you’ve never read it, drop whatever you’re doing and get this book. You’ll change after reading it.
