Top Reads of 2021

1. The Psychology of Money

by Morgan Housel

This will change your perspective about money and wealth.

2. Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-free Productivity

by David Allan

The book that has practically impacted me the most in 2021. It’s a bible for work prioritization and has practical guidelines to create a system that fits your working style. Some of the guidelines like filing and paper-based workflows may seem outdated but the principles can be easily applied to software apps to achieve the same or better results.

3. Factfulness: Ten Reasons We Are Wrong About The World

by Hans Rosling

The world is not as bad as we think and things are improving at a much faster pace than we can imagine. This will induce critical thinking.

4. 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

by Yuval Noah Harari

The intellectual thinking of Yuval Noah Harari and the range of topics will just leave you spellbound. Can’t find a better word than what Guardian has said about this book… ‘Truly mind-expanding’!

5. This is Siachen

by Harshal Pushkarna

This book succinctly explains the challenges faced by Indian Armed Forces while guarding the world’s highest battleground where the harsh weather is deadlier than the actual enemy.

6. The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness

by Eric Jorgenson

Eric puts together Naval’s best insights and wisdom. I just wish this book had been written 10 years ago. The only book I have gifted this year. The digital edition of the book is available for free at https://www.navalmanack.com.
