I’ve recently been exploring Derek Sivers’ recommended books list.
What I love about it is how the 250+ books are ordered by, “How strongly I recommend it,” on a scale from 0 to 10.
I have deep respect for Derek, and by extension, his book recommendations. I see this list as a window into his learning journey.
One way to read more signal, and less noise, is to read books recommended by those you have respect for. I’ve found this principle helpful in discovering new works, avoiding duds, and confirming classics.
Do you know any individuals with recommended book lists to share? I’d love to hear about them!
