In my post “Principles of Life-Change” I talk quite a bit about strategizing life-change, and how skill acquisition—information, experiential knowledge, mentorship, clarity, goals, planning, reviewing, etc.—is endemic to the idea of craft. In the light of such a sharpen-the-tools spirit, let me offer an off-the-cuff booklist that you may want to peruse in 2021. By “peruse” I actually mean absorb them if you happen to pick them up. I found all of them to be, well, life-changing.

  1. Cal Newport, Deep Work

  2. James Clear, Atomic Habits

  3. Wendy Wood, Good Habits, Bad Habits

  4. Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

  5. Greg McKewon, Essentialism

  6. John Tierney and Roy Baumeister, Willpower

  7. Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit

  8. Cal Newport, Digital Minimalism

  9. Kelly McGonigal, The Willpower Instinct

  10. Nir Eyal, Indistractable

  11. Amy Duckworth, Grit

  12. Charles Duhigg, Smarter, Faster, Better

Enjoy!
