You Should Read These 12 Books EVERY Year

I've read 1,000 books over the past decade.
Here's what I've learned.
Most books are simply one great idea surrounded by 300 pages of fluff.
In other words:
Most books are a complete waste of time.
Let me save you some time:
Here are 12 that are worth re-reading every year.

    I definately check some of these out. I find it is the reflection and integration steps the most challenging. Determining what is really valuable, and then consistently applying it can be challenging in a world with constant demands. Some of my favourite life improvement books are much simpler, like David Allen's "Getting Things done". Just remembering what the priorities are in life, and taking action on what needs to be done next, is so important to making progress.

Another one is "The Discourses of Epictetus", written at about the same time as Meditations was being put together by the wisest of the Roman Emperors. These two literally changed my life, radically. I had read a lot and certainly learnt much before these two books, but the wisdom in them is just priceless, oye-openning in ways that I never before thought about.

    I've read several of these books. For me, the thoughts and guidance in Antifragile and Man's Search for Meaning, I've integrated into my life. Atomic Habits and books by Esther Hicks have done the same as have many others. That's key: Find things in books that you include in your day-to-day life to make it more effective.

    Meditations is like my manuscript to me I've read Power of Now before, but it's surely something I need to read again. A book I've enjoyed reading yearly over the past two decades is 'Candide' by Voltaire. Short story, but always reminds me to stay grounded and to "keep watering my garden". Reading this book helped me in understanding a few lessons in life. Love it! Great list. I'm ooking forward to reading all of the others.

    Well, that book is a quick read mainly because it's really short and has lots of pictures. I'm actually not a terribly fast reader, and I think it's counterproductive to try learning to read faster. Just read at whatever read is right for you. Focus on comprehension, not completion. Everything else will fall into place.

    I journal every morning for 5-10 minutes and so I tend to use that time as opportunity to reflect. I don't think it's necessary to get super rigid about taking notes and whatnot. Instead, just take note of the interesting concepts that lodge themselves in your skull. Be aware of what sticks in there, and then make time to actively reflect on that. Only 2-3 concepts really stick with me each time I read a book. Focus on retaining THOSE, rather than trying to drill all the other parts into your memory.

    Man's search for meaning by Viktor Frankl is by far the best book ever written for a male human being who aspires to do anything with his life. It basically makes all your excuses for not doing something completely invalid and silly. I read it when I was lost in life and without a purpose (age 26) of how to make money working for myself, live freely and have time for myself, not only for bosses and bills, and 3-4 years later I was a millionaire, solving all problems and obstacles along the way with ease.

    I'm going to read as many as I can manage. I agree though, and I'm an active reader. One book often leads to other books or at least research. For example, reading Andrew Marr's History of the World led me to read Gilgamesh. Reading a Grisham novel led me to read MacDonald's Bullet for Cinderella. Sometimes I just research an idea, like when reading Asimov's many books, I often find myself researching topics regarding the galaxy and the Universe. And so on. Yep, read deep and reap the rewards.
