2024 Reading List for Productivity & Positivity

Welcome to a new list I plan on doing each year. A list of books that I recommend become part of our reading list for 2024, after sourcing from various bestseller lists, other productivity experts, like the infamous James Clear, and my friends. Some aspects of life warrant being an early adopter, but with books, I’m totally ok with others vetting them before I spend my time on them.

The purpose of this book list is to deepen our knowledge of productivity and positivity. But I believe to do that to great effect, there’s an element of exposure and cross-pollination of other topics. Plus, sometimes we just want to be entertained in exhilarating, unexpected ways.

Here’s the 2024 list, which you can find at bookshop.org, which helps to raise money for local bookshops.
