It’s been a long time since my last post, and a lot has happened since then. But the focus of this post is something else: I want to share the books I’ve read this year. Some of them are really good, and I’d like to share the links with you and also mention how the habit of reading has improved my concentration at work and in my daily life.
Some of the books I’ve been reading are about seeing life through a more positive lens, while others are about how to better manage your time, both personally and professionally. I also tried to read some technical books on software engineering, but I haven’t finished them yet. Maybe by the end of the year I’ll update this post with links to those as well.
For me, reading has become part of my morning routine. After breakfast, I usually read one chapter per day, and it really helps me get into “focus mode” for the rest of the day. I truly hope you can build this habit too and I guarantee it will make your days better.
Here’s the list of books I’ve read this year. All of them were originally written in Portuguese, but you can find English versions too:
- Quando as coisas não saem como você espera: Como encontrar esperança em tempos difíceis (Haemin Sunim)
- O cavaleiro preso na armadura (Robert Fisher)
- Criando um Segundo Cérebro: Um método comprovado para organizar sua vida digital e desbloquear seu potencial criativo (Tiago Forte)
- Nós que estamos aqui agora: Uma filosofia de vida (Jostein Gaarder)
- Essencialismo: A disciplinada busca por menos (Greg McKeown)
- Pensamento eficaz: Como transformar situações cotidianas em resultados extraordinários (Shane Parrish)
I hope these books inspire you as much as they inspired me. Keep reading!
See you soon! 👋🏻📚✨
