I wanted to take the opportunity to share the books I liked reading this year across various topics like business, technology, and leadership among others (This is my 10th year of sharing my favorite books of the year). Most of them are business books which are my preferred genre. Here are the books I liked reading in 2024 and also at the bottom you have my favorite books from 2015 till 2023.
Co-intelligence by Ethan Mollick- This is a well researched book which gives an overview of AI basic concepts and how AI can impact the future. It is meant to attract the general audience as well. He argues that AI should augment human intelligence rather than replace It which is absolutely the way to go. There are four distinct principles he explains namely Openness, Peering, Sharing, and Acting Globally.
The Algebra of Wealth by scott galloway- It is quite motivating at least some parts of it. The first one is that you need is character and it is mentioned as stoicism, the second is focus which is all about giving your best at work, the third is time and how much time is lost which can never be got back and finally diversification a roadmap for making investment decisions. Overall a breezy read.
Super Communicators by Charles Duhigg - The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better were great books by him and this is also pretty good. This is all about how we can become better at communicating. He basically identifies three types of conversation we should all be clear on while communicating. What is this really about which is the decision mindset. How do we feel which is all about the emotional mindset and finally who we are which are all about social conversations.
High Road Leadership by John Maxwell –?John Maxwell is at it again with another book on leadership. This is a decent book as he has already covered so much ground on the subject on his other books which I enjoyed. His basic thesis is today's leaders are prone to disputes, frustration and anger and neglect to think about the teams they are leading and think big picture. He wants High Road leaders to value people and do the right thing for the right reasons. Leaders on the high road take accountability for their actions and also make sure team comes first.
I think you might find some of these interesting to put on your reading list.
Here are the other books I liked right from 2015 to 2023.
