What are the best books you’ve read in 2014?

Each year for the past 12 years I’ve read between 40-50 books a year (except one year when I only read 30+ books). So far this year I’ve read 49 books. And, this sparks the obvious question: which ones are the best books I’ve read in 2014?

In this Podcast Episode

Here’s the top ten best books I’ve read during 2014:

  1. A book on reciprocity styles as the key to success
  2. A book on creating happiness through working on your strengths
  3. A book on the gamification of motivation
