What to read in 2020

5 books from my favorites

As the last weeks of this year are almost behind us, I was going through what books would I read in the next year. I came across Bill Gates’ book recommendations for 2020, which helped me to add some interesting writings to my reading list.

I’m interested in books that people who I follow or are close to me read or are actively reading. This way I stay informed about their interests and I get to know what new knowledge they implement into their daily lives.

As I advise a similar list of books to all that are interested in my opinion, I’ve decided to make a similar recommendation list myself.

In the year 2019, I’ve managed to read 24 books. That makes 2 books every month. From this collection, I selected my top 5. These books are for the most part in the categories: leadership, communication, self-improvement. The order is not telling, these books are of different natures.

Radical Candor by Kim Scott

I got a lot of practical tips from this book, for example how to transform your personal weaknesses into an asset in leading other people. How not to fear to show your weaknesses made me more open to other people.

Hopefully you’ll find something interesting in my recommendation. I’m looking forward to 2020, as I have pretty exciting books on my reading list. I hope your next year will be full of improvements and exciting reading as well. I’m interested in your take. What should I read next year? Leave a comment below.
