Books I loved in 2018

As 2018 is fast approaching its final chapter, I have been reflecting on the books I have enjoyed reading this year. For the most part, I tend to read non-fiction, business, biographies and historical books. If you enjoy any of these genres, these books would be a great addition to your bookshelf. So without further a due, here are the top three books I enjoyed in 2018:

Tribe of Mentors By Tim Ferriss

Tim is probably best known for his book the 4 hour work week, but his new book Tribe of Mentors is quite different. It reflects Tim’s deep curiosity in understanding the minds of top performers in their respective industries. Broken up into a series of interviews, Tim asks each performer a series of curated questions field tested to provide the most value to the reader. If you are looking for great book recommendations, habits, or advice for living your best life, this is a must-have for the bookshelf.

Car Country: An Environmental History by Chris Wells

As Americans when we think about going anywhere, it almost always involves a car. Why is this? In Chris’ book, he details the history of the automobile in America from its small beginnings to complete dominance over the transportation sector. Car Country spares no details packing in as much factual punch as a textbook, without making you feel like you’re in a classroom. If you have any interest in this topic, this book is a must-read.

Linchpin by Seth Godin

If you have been following the business/marketing world for any length of time, it’s hard not to hear about Seth Godin. He has authored 18 books [at the time of this writing], and I've read many of them but Linchpin has been my favorite read so far. The book is about a new shift in the jobs economy and how we can make the transition from cog to linchpin. This book will challenge you to overcome fear, take risks and make good art.
