2024 was a year of learning for me, as I managed to read 12 books on different topics, ranging from science to psychology. Although I wasn’t able to reach my optimistic goal of 24 books due to my educational commitments, I still believe that being able to read those 12 books while managing my responsibilities was a great achievement.

Nevertheless, as you might have guessed from the title, today is not about those 12 books or summarizing them. It’s about the book that I found to be the most worth reading among them all.

Now, before I let my bias get the better of me in admiration of that one book, I would like to point out that it’s unfair to pick one book and label it the best amidst the vast river of available knowledge. I believe every book is great if read with focus and the intention of extracting something useful.

But since I am, in fact, labeling one book as the best despite discouraging it, let me explain why we do this. Sometimes, we find ourselves in situations where one particular book provides an answer or resonates with us, leading us to conclude it’s the best book.

Back to the topic.

One of the best books I read in 2024 was 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson.
