Best books from 2025

This was a re-read. If you're a podcast person and want a written format of all the best hacks about getting healthy, wealthy and wise - this has you covered. The book is 8 years old but man is there some great wisdom and some great quick passages that give you nuggets of actionable items to improve your life.

This is a book to read, and then re-read once a year. We all live pretty comfortable lives and in general that is creating some of the problems of today's world.

One of my favorite books of all time. A great fictional story about love, revenge, integrity and the nice guy finishing first. There's a movie too if you just want a great movie.

A reminder we all need to clean out our metaphorical closet from time to time. And in general, keep it there for a more enjoyable life.

Screens are a problem for the youth of today. Period and full stop. Jonathan Haidt lays out a plan to help get our kids back outside and away from phones for as long as humanly possible.

Red Hot Chili Peppers fan? This book is a biography of their lead singer. It encompasses all things sex, drugs and rock and roll and is a testament to what the human body is capable of tolerating.

Skill = Talent x Effort -> Achievement = Skill x effort. Therefore Acheivement = Talent x Effort^2.

This is just a formula that says effort really matters (counts 2x in acheivement) and we all need to try a bit harder. Or at least thats the reminder I get when reading this book.
