2019 was an amazing year for me. Back in late February 2019, I decided to develop a reading culture. It was hard for me at first, but I decided to do it anyway. I was watching an interview on CNBC where Bill Gates was talking about the power of reading books. This was my first motivation that propelled me into reading books even those that are not related to my career.
Another motivation was from Ben Carson, the author of Gifted Hands New York Best Seller. Ben Carson insists on how important it is to read books and pile your store of knowledge. In his book, Think Big, Ben Carson explains how he rose to be a top student in his class when everyone knew that he was always the tail.
The more books I read, the more appetite I develop to read more books. As for 2019, here are the books that I managed to read. All these books are interesting and worth reading.
- Think and Grow Rich – Napoleon Hill
- Wake up and Live – Dorothea Brande
- Richest Man in Babylon – George S. Clason
- Law of Attraction – David Hooper

Also, let me know in the comment section below the books that you have read and would recommend for 2020.
