2023 Top books

My best reads of 2023 featuring Shane Parrish, daily habits of artists, God's architect and a 93 year old Auschwitz survivor

• Clear Thinking - Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results - Shane Parrish
  So much useful information to unpack from this book. Shane Parrish's fs.blog has always been thought provoking, and his book does not disappoint.

• The Gift - 12 Lessons to save your life - Edith Eger
  Edith Eger, Auschwitz surviver, at the ripe old age of 93 decided to write this book. So much great information to help anyone recover from traumatic events in their life.

• Your money or your life - Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin
  There is a reason this book is often quoted in frugality and money advice circles. If you only had to read one book about personal finances, it should be this one.

• Daily Rituals How Artists Work by Mason Currey
  This book is entertaining, as well as inspiring. Artists work methods are as varied as they are interesting, and I gleaned lots of interesting ideas and lessons from learning how different artists have worked in the past.

• Michealangelo - Gods Architect - William Wallace
  Michaelangelo was a genius in more ways than one. At age 71 he became architect to St. Peter's basilica and produced some of his finest work in the later years of his life.

• The Creative Act - A Way of Being - Rick Rubin
  All creatives should read this book. There is a reason Rick Rubin has inspired musicians across every genre to produce their best and most innovative albums.

• Beginners - The Joy and Transformative Power of Lifelong Learning - Tom Vanderbilt
  Learning as a part of being human, no matter what age you are. This book inspires to keep learning no matter at what stage in our life we are.

  Absolutely fascinating tale of how the dead language and writing of the Egyptians was deciphered by two men in the 20th century.
