2024 - Year in Books

28 books this year!

As I look at this list of books it's interesting to me how the mix has changed. I found myself in 2024 spending more time in scripture and mystical poetry books (Bible, Bhagavad Gita, Tao Te Ching, etc), often re-reading them multiple times. I think the past year was less about me learning 'practical lessons' and more about me trying to deepen the connection with my spirit, with god.

There are still a handful of books on this list that are insightful and practical! "The Courage to Be Disliked" was very eye-opening, especially related to trauma response and compulsive behaviors. Tony Robbin's "Money: Mastering the Game" is obviously a very 'worldly' book, but still incredibly useful for 'getting on with' the world.

And of course the smattering of fiction! Two books from the Lord of the Rings series fill most of this category (though I'm almost done with a few books that didn't make the year-end cut-off).

What do you think?! Did you happen to read any of these books in the past year? Anything on this list look new and interesting to you?
