When I was younger, I was obsessed with reading. Mostly I was into fantasy novels, letting my imagination run wild. Up to about puberty, one could find me with my nose stuck in a book. Sadly, I lost my motivation to read through much of my young adulthood. Still, I got back into the habit several years ago. Now I read roughly a dozen books a year, although none of them are fantasy-related anymore. Inspired by a friend and business contemporary, Alex Medick, I will share my 2020 reading list with you.
You will find several themes in the books I’ve read in 2020: Stoicism, Venture Capital & Startups, and Travel. These topics make sense given that my focus year was on my pivot into the VC industry and traveling the world. Also, with Covid-19, I was certainly open to calming my brain down with some stoic philosophical principles. My interest in philosophy is nothing new, but I habitually read some passages daily to incorporate them into my life.
Here is my reading list for 2020 with links to purchase through Amazon (I receive a kickback) without further ado.
