33 + 3 Books You Should Have In Your Library

33 + 3 Books You Should Have In Your Library

I don’t want to say anything about the books on my list. Books have words and speak by themselves. What I’m going to tell you is how those books ended up on my list.

In 2009 I challenged myself to read 100 books per year. I failed every time. The highest score was 67 (not even 69).?

Then I stopped counting and focused on the habit. One great habit I picked up was practicing reading so many books. I woke up early in the morning, enjoyed a good breakfast and then a coffee with a sea view, reading a book in silence. 50 pages per day. Everyday.?

Think of a 300-page book. You can finish it in 6 days. This will not make you read 100 books but the number is not the point. The point is the knowledge you get, the discipline you impose yourself and what you’re gonna do with them.

So, here is my list of 30 + 3 books (in random order). Read them, feel them, love them, hate them, rip them off, not necessarily in that order. But never criticise them, unless you make money from it.

  2. Tribes - Seth Godin
  3. Jony Ive - Leander Kahney
  4. Small Data - Martin Lindstrom
  5. Monster loyalty - Jackie Huba

  32. Two marketing buddies walk into Buddha - Erik Saelens & Kurt Frenier

The +3 is because the following books exist only in hardcopy, therefore they have a special place in my library as I rarely buy hardcopy books anymore.

  1. Studio 54 - Ian Schrager
  2. Designed from Apple in California - Andrew Zuckerman & Jony Ive
  3. What to do when it’s your turn - Seth Godin

I help women get their menopause magic on in starting in perimenopause through postmenopause - this is a natural transition but we aren't meant to do it alone!

Thank you for this list! I love to read and don't do it enough these days and will add some of these to my reading list. So many worlds can be explored opening books.
