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:
- Digital Minimalism - This book helped me regain control of my attention and time from undeserving distractions.
- Siddhartha - A captivating fable about life and the universe.
- Amusing Ourselves to Death - Written decades ago, but accurately predicted our lives in the 21st century.
- The Urban Sketcher - This book provided me with the confidence, skills, and roadmap to learn sketching in my late 30s.
- Guns, Germs, and Steel - A fantastic book about history, geography, and culture that opened a new perspective for me to see the world.
- 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."
- 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.
- The Design of Everyday Things - A classic book if you want to know anything related to design.
- 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?
- 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!
