5 Books That Changed My Life In 2019
Texts that changed the way I write, run my business and live my life.
In 2019, I set a goal to read 100 books — but unfortunately, I fell short. Due to a combination of illness, personal challenges, and plain old lack of motivation, I only read around 77.
But 77 books is still enough to feel the books blur together. Rather, to feel most of them blur together. When you read so many books, there’s always a handful that stick out above the rest. Books that not only teach you what you need to know, but change you at a deeper level.
What makes a book change you is less about how good a book is, and more about how right a book is — whether the right person is reading the right book at the right time.
So, what follows is not a list of the world’s best books or the books with the best writing quality, but the 5 books that changed my life this year. They were, for me, the right books at the right time.
Note that these are the five best books I read in 2019, not the 5 best books that came out in 2019.‘The World Beyond Your Head’ by Matthew B. Crawford
