It’s been said that the reason for the success of people like Warren Buffet is that they have out-read everyone else. It’s true, books are in essence taking the lessons and knowledge of one person and making it your own, it’s like chopping the head of someone in that 90’s show Highlander without all the lighting and weird stuff. This year I’ve decided to read a lot more. I wanted to absorb the knowledge and experience of other people, their entire life’s work and experience whittled down into 300-500 pages for me to learn, internalize. The books will be my direct access to the wisdom of those before me. So the more you read, the larger collective mind you access. So here it is, my book list which I will update as I keep going. It’s not impressive, it’s my effort and goal to get to 25 books per year this year. Ten more than last year and about two books a month.
