Do you love reading business and productivity books too?

If so, you may find below some books I read last year. You might want to add some of them to your 2018 reading list!

If not, I recommend you consider reading more for 2018.

There are some really smart and successful guys out there and across generations. Well guess what? There is a way to get inside their mind and learn all of the recipes for success they developed through years of experience and hard work. Sure, MOOCs and articles are a great way to learn too, but books (audio-books for people with auditive memory and the lazy ones :p) remain a great way to somehow “copy and paste” other people’s knowledge somewhere deep inside your brain.

So here we go:

  • 10 days to faster reading — Princeton Language Institute and Abby Marks Beale
  • Hacking Growth — Sean Ellis
  • Pitch anything — Oren Klaff
  • Managing the mental game: How to think more, effectively navigate uncertainty and build mental fortitude — Jess Boss
  • Understand how the future unfolds. Using DRIVE to Harness the Power of Today’s Megatrends — Terence C. M; TSE PhD and Mark Esposito PhD
  • All marketers tell stories — Seth Godin
  • Growth Hacker Marketing revisited and expanded — Ryan Holiday
  • The 4-hour work week — Tim Ferriss
  • Traction. How any startup can achieve explosive customer Growth — Gabriel Weinberg
  • Reinvent yourself — James Altucher
  • The dip — Seth Godin
  • Contagious — Jonah Berger
  • Mastering logical fallacies — Michael Withey
  • Venture capital deal terms — Harm F. De Vries, Menno J. Van Loon, Sjoerd Mol
  • The business of Venture Capital — Mahendrea Ramsinghani
  • The entrepreuneurial bible to Venture Capital — Andrew Romans
  • Good to great — Jim Collins
  • Hustle hustle hustle — Jesse Tevelow
  • The hard thing about hard things — Ben Horowitz
  • Hacking Kickstarter and Indiegogo — Patrice Williams Marks
  • Mindset — Dr. Carol S. Dweck
  • Rework — Change the way you work forever — Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson
  • Everyday NFC — Hsuan-Hua Chang
  • Libérez votre cerveau — Idriss Aberkane (too bad this one’s only available in French)
  • Creating room to read — John Wood
  • Liminal thinking — Dave Gray
  • Originals: How non-conformists change the world — Adam Grant

The best book in 2016: The One thing — Gary W. Keller, Jay Papasan

The 2017 FAVORITE EVER: Mastery — Robert Green

The worst book ever read: The life-changing magic of not giving a f**k — by Sarah Knight. Such title could have been a fun and genius way to elaborate on what’s truly important in life and on how to trim the superfluous rather than just telling people it’s okay to behave like selfish pr*cks.

Anyways, I’m excited about my 2018 reading list, let me know if you have some recommendations for me and Happy New Year!
