2021: My [Tentative] Reading List
We go again this year. No stopping in this journey of pursuing knowledge.
All readers may not be leaders but all leaders are definitely readers.
Don’t forget it’s not about how many books you read — even though it’s a healthy competition — but about the transformational effect on you. I’ll still share about how to read more books and retain what you read. For now, let's stick with this.
Below is my tentative reading list for the year. Please leave a book suggestion for me in the comment section too. I’m sure you also have amazing books to suggest to me.
I’ve read some of the books I suggested here. I just thought to read them again. They’re crucial for my 2021 journey. You might also find them useful too.
So, my fellow 'BOOKies’, let’s go.
