Chapter 1: My Reading Journey

In 2024, one of my objectives is to delve into 100 books focused on business and personal development. Reading is essential, but it’s even more impactful when the insights gained are put into practice daily. The world operates on principles of cause and effect, and action is vital.

Below is a compilation of the books I completed in July 2024 as part of this initiative. I’ve been maintaining an average of nine books per month, aiming to sustain this pace through December 2024.

July Book List:

• Metabolical — Dr. Robert Lustig — Completed
• Tiny Habits — BJ Fogg — Completed
• The 80/20 Individual — David Koch — Completed
• Think & Grow Rich — Napoleon Hill — Completed
• CEO Excellence — Carolyn Dewar & Scott Keller — Completed
• The Heart of Laser-Focused Coaching — Marion Franklin — Completed
• The Mental Equivalent — Emmert Fox — Completed
• The Alchemist — Paulo Coelho — Completed
• Mind Over Matter: Control Your Reality Through Thought — Completed

Having read nearly 80 books so far this year, I’m on track to surpass my goal of 100. This experience has been both enriching and transformative, significantly enhancing my confidence in various aspects of my life.

Engaging with a range of literature on psychology, business strategies, sales techniques, and self-improvement has provided me with invaluable insights and applicable knowledge. This reservoir of information has not only improved my personal growth but also clarified my direction and purpose. I feel increasingly assured about my journey and the choices I make.

The act of reading has solidified my conviction in the importance of lifelong learning and personal development. I eagerly anticipate continuing this journey and sharing my progress.

Stay tuned for my reflections on the books I read in August, as well as the exciting titles I plan to explore in September!
