I was grateful to have a chance to read 23 books in 2021 — on top of the countless articles that I read for work and such. While I'm sure many of you can easily top 23, you might find the below list interesting, and maybe you'll add some of these to your own list. Reading these books definitely elevated my life overall, and I expect the learnings from them will continue to enrich my personal and professional life in 2022 and beyond. For 2022, I'm targeting 26 books (1 book every 2 weeks). 🤓
