Episode description

In 2020, I managed to read 54 books, marking the sixth consecutive year of maintaining a pace of one book per week. Curious about which books I read, my recommendations, and my reasons for this reading habit? Check out the video to find answers to these questions.

Here are ten books from my 2020 list that I highly recommend:

  1. Digital Minimalism - This book helped me regain control of my attention and time from undeserving distractions.
  2. Siddhartha - A captivating fable about life and the universe.
  3. Amusing Ourselves to Death - Written decades ago, but accurately predicted our lives in the 21st century.
  4. The Urban Sketcher - This book provided me with the confidence, skills, and roadmap to learn sketching in my late 30s.
  5. Guns, Germs, and Steel - A fantastic book about history, geography, and culture that opened a new perspective for me to see the world.
  6. Educated - Deeply touched by Tara's story, as she uses knowledge to discover the world and her identity. "There's a world out there, and it's different from dad's whisper into your ears."
  7. Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! - Richard Feynman is my idol in many ways. This book is the best way to learn his thinking process, and it's quite enjoyable to read his remarkable stories.
  8. The Design of Everyday Things - A classic book if you want to know anything related to design.
  9. Forever Employable - Jeff Gothelf, a design industry influencer, shares tips and strategies for building a future-proof career in this new book. The timing for reading this book couldn't be better - I mean, 2020, right?
  10. The Tartar Steppe - "Time has slipped by so quickly that his heart has not had a chance to grow old." This is the best story about time I read this year, highly recommended!
