My 2018 Reading List
I did a lot of reading this year, and 2018 was my most prolific year yet with a total of 55 books read, averaging more than one book per week.
Reading a mix of both fiction and non-fiction has been a goal this year. In non-fiction, business, personal development, and high performance books have taken over most of the books I’ve read this year. I don’t see this changing any time soon as I am to improve myself and my abilities as an online entrepreneur.
There are a lot of mindset and habit changes I plan on implementing over the coming year as a result.
A new thing for me has been to tackle biographies. Though they’re often quite long and normally take me several weeks to finish (I usually have several books on the go at once ) – but I find they have a LOT of lessons to impart.
I find what I learn from reading biographies really sticks in my mind much better than typical self-help or instructional non-fiction books. I plan on reading more biographies of historical figures who I admire in the future.
*Starred books are ones I REALLY enjoyed, thought were important, and that I learned the most from. I highly recommend these books and plan on reading them again myself. Books with a number in brackets after them (2) are books I’ve already read before – this denotes a re-read.
