The Best Books 2016

What are the Best Books 2016? I love learning. And, I love to learn by reading books. Each year I aim to read 50 books – that’s one book each week. And, I’m pleased to say this year I made it!

Through Book Rapper, I am known for my book nerd qualities and often people ask me to suggest something for them to read.

To make this easier for you and me, I’ve compiled a list of all the books that I’ve read this year – Best Books 2016.

Plus, I’ve put a comment next to each one in our ebook: Book of the Year 2016.

The ebook shares all 50 books I’ve read, plus a Top Ten and a Book of the Year

In this podcast episode, we’re simply sharing our Top Ten Best Books 2016.

What I read

I read a little randomly. I tend to simply pick books that spark my interest. They’re all non-fiction books and most are business-related. Some are best-sellers, some not. Some are hot off the presses, whilst most are older. And others I simply enjoy (of course, some I don’t but they’re not on this list).

Two Qualities

To make our list the book had to have two qualities:

A Big Idea – something that rocks your world and changes how we think
Inspiring – it opens up an opportunity for me that I hadn’t previously considered.

Best Books 2016

Our Top Ten Best Books 2016 include:

A best-seller on endurance running
Two books on how to learn world-class skills
A story-telling book that goes beyond Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey
The best book I’ve read on creating presentations
A brilliant book on how to write shorter and sharper
A book that presents a contemporary take on a 3000-year-old philosophy
An underground hit that shows why most projects fail and what to do instead. We’ve redesigned Project Passion around this big idea.
The secret weapon I’ve been using to stay focused with less effort.
And Book of the Year provides the best career advice you’ll ever get.
