Book Recommendation Everyone Should Read In 2020

You all know in 2020 I have decided to start to read more books and I have made some progress and this year also I’m continue this tradition and also, I won’t lie I was a bit over-ambitious about reading and thinking that I will finish these many books but frankly speaking that unrealistic.

So, here I’m committing one book every month because I don’t pressurize myself rather enjoy the process.

Here are 12 books recommendations to read in 2021

1. Wabi Sabi: Japanese Wisdom for a Perfectly Imperfect Life

Wabi-sabi (“wah-bi sah-bi”) is a captivating concept from Japanese aesthetics, which helps us to see the beauty in imperfection, appreciate the simplicity, and accept the transient nature of all things.

With roots in zen and the way of tea, the timeless wisdom of wabi-sabi is more relevant than ever for modern life, as we search for new ways to approach life’s challenges and seek meaning beyond materialism.

Wabi-sabi is a refreshing antidote to our fast-paced, consumption-driven world, which will encourage you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and be gentler on yourself. It will help you simplify everything, and concentrate on what matters.

From honoring the rhythm of the seasons to creating a welcoming home, from reframing failure to aging with grace, wabi-sabi will teach you to find more joy and inspiration throughout your perfectly imperfect life.

2. Atomic Habits: The life-changing

World-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered a simpler system for transforming your life.

He knows that lasting change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions — doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits.

In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals how these tiny changes will help you get 1 percent better every day.

He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone)

and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of small habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy.

These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life.

4.The Magic

We all fail to realize the purpose of our life. We do live and fulfil most of our dreams, yet feel something missing within us.

This feeling of being lost and wandering around often comes without any answers which can get frustrating and draining.

This is exactly why we all need some ‘magic’ in our life to help us out. This is where Rhonda Byrne’s ‘The Magic’ enters the fray.

The ideal journey to a better living:

Gratitude is the greatest gifts of mankind. And this is exactly what the author, Rhonda Byrne focuses on. In a very subtle yet profound manner, Rhonda Byrne introduces her readers about the power and miracles of gratitude and its rewarding implementation in our lives.

There have been occurrences and instances when a single thought has changed the life of many individuals. The author, Rhonda Byrne in her book ‘The Magic’ aims at influencing and motivating her readers to realize how they can make things happen for themselves.

Her book opens answers to various questions as to how one can live and grow from a simple idea.

The Magic is a sequel to the author’s second book, The Power. Like all other previous books of the author, this one too is a life altering book which takes you on a self-help journey to spiritual enlightenment.

5.Such a Fun Age

When Emira is apprehended at a supermarket for ‘kidnapping’ the white child she’s actually babysitting, it sets off an explosive chain of events. Her employer Alix, a feminist blogger with the best of intentions, resolves to make things right.

But Emira herself is aimless, broke and wary of Alix’s desire to help. When a surprising connection emerges between the two women, it sends them on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know — about themselves, each other, and the messy dynamics of privilege.

6.Mermaids In The Moonlight

‘I wonder how many mermaids there must be to make all these different noises in the lagoon. They say that, over a hundred years ago, the sounds used to be so loud that you needn’t even enter the lagoon … You could simply walk along the banks or on a bridge to hear them.’

Nilavoli and Amma voyage down a lagoon in Mattakalappu, listening to the mysterious sounds that rise from the deep.

As little Nilavoli listens in wonder, Amma dives into folklore and fishes out spellbinding tales of mermaids from around the world. From the royal mermaid Mélusine of Luxembourg to Julnar the sea-born from West Asia, from the shapeshifting Menana of the Ottawa Nation to the mermaid princess Suvarnamaccha, a daughter of Ravana who fell in love with Hanuman, the stories are all touched with magic.

Like a mermaid’s song, this beautifully illustrated picture book by acclaimed author and poet Sharanya Manivannan will enchant every young reader.

8. Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time

There just isn’t enough time for everything on our to-do list — and there never will be. Successful people don’t try to do everything. They learn to focus on the most important tasks and make sure those get done. They eat their frogs.

There’s an old saying that if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you’re done with the worst thing you’ll have to do all day.

For Tracy, eating a frog is a metaphor for tackling your most challenging task — but also the one that can have the greatest positive impact on your life.

Eat That Frog! shows you how to organize each day so you can zero in on these critical tasks and accomplish them efficiently and effectively.

In this fully revised and updated edition, Tracy adds two new chapters. The first explains how you can use technology to remind yourself of what is most important and protect yourself from what is least important. The second offers advice for maintaining focus in our era of constant distractions, electronic and otherwise.

10. The Psychology of Money

Timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happiness doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave.

And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. How to manage money, invest it, and make business decisions are typically considered to involve a lot of mathematical calculations, where data and formulae tell us exactly what to do.

But in the real world, people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.

In the psychology of money, the author shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important matters.

12. The Book of Ichigo Ichie: The Art of Making the Most of Every Moment, the Japanese Way

Every moment in our life happens only once, and if we let it slip away, we lose it forever-an idea captured by the Japanese phrase ichigo ichie.

Often used to convey that the encounter is unique and special, it is a tenet of Zen Buddhism and is attributed to a sixteenth-century master of the Japanese tea ceremony, or ‘ceremony of attention’, whose intricate rituals compel us to focus on the present moment.

From this age-old concept comes a new kind of mindfulness. In The Book of Ichigo Ichie, you will learn to use all five senses to anchor yourself in the present.

Every one of us contains a key that can open the door to attention, harmony with others, and love of life. And that key is ichigo ichie.
