Many books are written and released each year. Most of them are bad, some of them are good, a few are great, and the top .001% are exceptional.
It’s rare that an author is a great writer AND has deep domain expertise. This list of books is by authors who are both.
Who’s this book list for? The creative/visionary/big picture thinker who wants to awaken their inner genius.
1.Mastery was the best book I read in 2015. Certain parts I read 10 times, others 20, a few 30. Each time I open its pages or listen to the audio version, I find myself in a dreamlike state - imprinting the lessons deeper into my subconscious.
If you have decided to find your path, independent of social conditioning, this book is for you. It reads like a collection of 1,000 masters who dominated in their industries and were peak performers. It provides a framework for how they were able to awaken their creative genius and change the course of history.
There’s something in Mastery for everyone.
2.BLOD- What’s going to happen over the next 10 years? What about the next 30?
As technology changes the way we live at an exponential rate, you can either keep up or get left behind. If you plan on being a leader, this book is a must. It will get you thinking about the f1uture and how the actions you take today can set you apart down the road.
3.WHERE GOOD IDEAS COME FROM
Our society loves to dramatize and turn people into heroes. We like the idea of the lonely genius who has a “eureka” moment and discovers the secret to life.

ANTIFRAGILE
Nassim Taleb radiates the “don’t fuck with me” vibe in his writing. He’s a scary man.
In his most recent release, he’s invented a new word “Antifragile” and describes it like this:
“Fragile” means if you drop me, I break. Like a wine glass falling off the table.
