Reading 2020
Overview
I’ve always read books slowly. I digest them, research as I read, and take notes along the way. They are my mentors. I enjoy slow and deliberate thinking. A few thoughts on reading:
- I will re-read favorite books the way I rewatch favorite movies and replay favorite albums.
- I will take a deep breath and understand that it is IMPOSSIBLE to read everything on my list.
- I will be selective about my reading. If I don’t like it, then I won’t finish it.
- For my favorite authors, I’ll read other books they’ve written as well as what they read.
- I will read books primarily in audio-book format. This is how I best retain information.
- I will use Audible as a last resort, I will seek out the author’s audiobook on MP3 first and support my local bookstore instead of Amazon when I can.

“How Designers Destroyed the World, and What We Can Do to Fix It”
If you are a designer this is a must read. We need to license, we need to train, we need to organize, we need to unionize, and we need to protect those that we build products for.
“9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence”
“How a Positive Brain Fuels Success in Work and Life”. Recommended reading at work. Great reminder to keep a positive outlook and expectations.
“What Broke American Health Care–and How to Fix It”
If you work in the healthcare industry, any aspect of it, this is a must read. It gives examples of how the industry can be improved: insurance, medical care, measuring care, hospital billing, and more.
He gives a strong case for building back trust in the industry and always gives positive suggestions for improving current missteps in the industry.
“Getting the Most out of Life with Attention Deficit Disorder”
Creative and considerate fame.
What’s worth doing.
Recommended to me. Actionable advice and good reminders.
(The Classic Self-Help Book for Adults w/ Attention Deficit Disorder)
