I’m starting a new series of blog posts which will consist of me reviewing some of the best books I’ve recently read. I got into reading non-fiction on a pretty regular basis a couple of years ago and I’m now in the habit of reading at least once a day, usually for an hour or so. Still, I’m a relatively slow reader, so I don’t get through that many books in a year! I like to pick quality books that I’m sure I’ll like, savour them and try to take a few notes so that I’m more likely to actually remember, implement and benefit from what they contain.
For each book review, I’ve decided to note the top ten ideas that resonate with me. I’m sure that different people would pick up on different ideas, but I want to try my best to be as objective as possible, in terms of highlighting the information that is most prominent, repeated, controversial, actionable, thought-provoking and even potentially life-changing.
I’ve read dozens of great books over the last couple of years (you can check out my reading log on Pinterest) so there will be a bit of a back log to deal with before I get to the books I’m currently reading. I’ll only be reviewing my favourites, otherwise there are just too many!
I hope you enjoy the book review series. Hopefully each review should help you decide whether the book in question is worth reading for yourself. Or if you’re short on time, having the key ideas highlighted can be a good alternative to reading the actual thing.
These are the sorts of books I’m hoping to read at some point in the future. As you can see, it’s mainly stuff on personal development, self-employment, psychology, alternative lifestyles, anti-work, and so on. Take a look, and be sure to let me know of any similar books you’d recommend.
As I add a book review, I’ll link to the post below, so you can find them all in one place.
