📚2024’s Top Reads … according to Goodreads, I read (and listened to) 49,000 pages in 159 books in 2024. That doesn’t include the wide variety of research, reports, & articles I read too.
❓Rather than a top 10, I thought I’d share a few with purpose. When I’m asked, what book do you recommend? I usually answer - what do you want to learn? What are you curious about?
