I was curious about new year’s resolution people make. I read an
article about Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg’s new year resolution for
2015 that caught my attention. It was to read a book every other week.
I decided to make this a resolution for 2017. Mine was to read one
book a month and I haven’t looked back since then.
The next task was to figure out what books to read. I didn’t have to
go too far for that. My wife is an avid reader so I decided to start
from her collection. Another good source for me was recommendations
from my sister in law and her husband. I was feeling good as I started
on this journey. A few months in to this goal I came across Bill
Gates’ summer reading list and it gave me a few more books to add to
my collection.
It has been 2.5 years since I started on this reading journey. I have
read a lot of non-fiction books on varying topics since then and have
helped me grow as a person. In the next few posts I will share the
books I have read and what I loved about them. I am looking forward to
continuing my book reading journey and expanding my horizons over the
next phase of my life. Here are some of the books that I will talk
about over the next few posts — “Legacy:Letters from Eminent Parents
to Their Daughters”, “The Hard Thing About Hard Things — Building a
Business When There are No Easy Answers” and “The Growth Mindset —
Carol S. Dweck”.
