I know it may sound like a cliche or over-recommendation, but it’s just the pure truth. Thanks for The Feedback (Douglas Stone) – This is one of that books that I think everyone should read.Living Beyond Self Doubt (Som Bathla) – It’s an action book which made me question myself upon my life experience, from childhood to present, analyze my past experiences, understand why I am thinking in a certain way right now and conquer all my inner doubts.

As a marketing communication specialist, I enjoyed each page of the book.

Contagious, Why Things Catch On (Jonah Berger) – As Goodreads says, the book “combines groundbreaking research with powerful stories” about What makes things popular?, Why do people talk about certain products and ideas more than others? and What makes online content go viral?.

Each chapter caught me so intensely, that made me finish the book after 48h. The core ideas of the book are still staying in my head and help me eliminate all sort of excuses, and get things done. It put me in the doer’s mindset, made me think about the things I want to accomplish in 2017, and make a plan. I am glad it was like this because it was the right book at the right time.

Create or Hate (Dan Norris) – It’s the first book I read this year, that I remember I started it after a few days in 2017.Inspired by Ryan Holiday I decided to publish a list post article to feature a few of the best books I read in 2017, and a short list of books I want to read this year.
