2024 Reading List
I've been mentored by the successes and failures of hundreds of people I've never met. I've been challenged to enter into worlds quite different than my personal culture, worldview and ideology by reading stories and platforms of diverse people. I like to think about reading similar to cross-training for physical fitness - deliberate diversity of content to stretch and strengthen me. After a fruitful 2023 Reading Journey, here's my outlook on 2024 titles.

8 个月Mike Sharrow I enjoyed Gibson's Living Life Backward so much that I also picked up his book Radically Whole, which I'm reading now. One other great read from last year was the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
Changing Minds, Changing Lives. Leadership Coach (ICF-PCC). Speaker. Author. "Re-tired" Fortune 100 Executive.
8 个月great list Mike Sharrow. I'd like to recommend two books (I read last year) that help us deepen our intentionality for the "second half" of our life: "Half Time: Moving from Success to Significance" (Bob Buford); From Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness, and Deep Purpose (Arthur Brooks). These two books complement one another nicely.
