There are so many incredible books to read!
It is astounding to walk into a bookstore and see the walls full of every type of genre, both current and classic. The availability of literature is incomparable to any other time in human history.
Consider the advantages our generation has:
Our libraries are full.
The internet is at our fingertips.
Books are available to read on our electronic devices (nooks, kindles, Ipads).
Services like Blinkist will condense entire books into 15-minute chunks.
You can even have a manuscript read to you through sites like Audible – sometimes even by the author who penned the words!
It’s a little overwhelming to think about all the great books out there – and the ways to consume them.
That’s why I created a book list -- to be intentional about growing in certain areas.
Here are the top 10 books I plan to read (or re-read) in 2023.
Fearless by Eric Blehm
Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss
Boundaries for Leaders by Dr. Henry Cloud
Deep Work by Cal Newport
Redeeming Your Time by Jordan Raynor
Simply Said by Jay Sullivan
The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor
Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
Letter to the American Church by Eric Metaxas
The Six Types of Working Genius by Patrick Lencioni
(Bonus) Own Your Past Change Your Future by Dr. John Delony
Have you made a book list for 2023? If you haven’t created your book list yet, what’s holding you back?
John Maxwell says, “To reach your potential, you must grow. And to grow, you must be highly intentional about it.”
Making a book list is one way to exercise a high degree of intentionality to grow in the areas most important to you.
And to quote John Maxwell again, “Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.”
It’s never too late to get growing again.
For your growth,
