8 Books That Got Me Through 2020
And how they continue to guide me to a better tomorrow.
For the past few years I’ve been making increasing efforts to make reading a daily activity. Reading makes such a deep impact on my life that I often tie certain periods of time or memories to a book that enveloped me with its ideas. Looking back on the year of 2020, countless lives were impacted in mostly negative ways —the covid-19 pandemic was augmented with misinformation at all time highs and minuscule trust in elected officials.
The pain of 2020 reminded me how ideas shape not only our minds but also our feedback loops. If we search for quick answers, truth gradually becomes an afterthought.
However, if we instead approach problems with an open mind directed towards ideas that bring people together, we can spread positive solutions rather than negative hysteria.
In this article, I will feature the most impactful books I read that also reflect on the challenges of 2020, both personal and external. I hope you will find your next deep read here!
