Looking for your next great read? Here are 6 books I enjoyed in 2023 that I recommend

#1 The Psychology of Money

This is not your typical “here’s how to get rich,” or “here’s how to save away money until you’re so old you forget your name” type of book.

This book explains why and how humans view and handle money and provides some insights into correcting our natural but illogical relationship with it.

I’ve read countless books on finance but this one hit differently.

Rarely does a book have as big of an impact on my views as this one did. Not to mention on such an important topic.

I highly recommend it, but don’t expect a DFY plan of attack on growing wealth.

#2 Futureproof: 9 Rules for Humans in the Age of Automation by Kevin Roose

Let’s face it, most of us have felt a bit of robot dread recently.

Things in the world of AI are moving at an extremely fast pace and knowing what the not so distant future holds is something worth considering.

This books dives into the important considerations.

It doesn’t give the cheesy over simplification I’m seeing a lot lately. The “AI good and you’re missing out because you’re scared of it” approach.

Instead, it gives an unbiased view of all angles of the future of AI and its risks and lets the reader come to their own conclusion.

#5 Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell

I loved his book "Who Not How" so I bought this the second I saw it.

It's one of those books that shares a lot of what you might already know but in a way that it feels new, inspiring and highly actionable.
