Reading completed in 2020

​Happy New Year!

Wow, what a year. The word of the year for me was "survival." My mantra was "one day at a time."

However, we did survive, and for that I'm thankful. There is much worse in life than having to spend a lot of time with your family at home.

Last year was certainly a year of transitions for me as well. In the middle of the year, my attention shifted focus to my family, working to support everyone and keep them safe, healthy, sane, and productive. This also meant a lot more time spent on domestic activities, which was both time consuming but also occasionally allowed for more reading (in audio, print, and electronic form).

I finished 26 books in 2020. I'm proud that I was able to exceed the number of books I read in 2019 and that I was able to finish more magic books, which I hadn't in 2019 either. I still fell short of the volume of reading I did in prior years before that, so that will be my goal for this year.

The books I read in 2020 cycled between psychology, business/entrepreneurship, parenting, magic, health, and fiction. My favorites from the year:

(General)
Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice from the Best in the World by Tim Ferriss
Super Thinking: The Big Book of Mental Models by Gabriel Weinberg and Lauren McCann

(Parenting)
How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen: A Survival Guide to Life with Children Ages 2-7 by Joanna Faber and Julie King
The Yes Brain: How to Cultivate Courage, Curiosity, and Resilience in Your Child by Dan Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson
The Secrets of Happy Families: Improve Your Mornings, Rethink Family Dinner, Fight Smarter, Go Out and Play, and Much More by Bruce Feiler

(Fiction)
Motherless Brooklyn by Jonathan Lethem

Here's to a 2021 filled with more reading!
