Ali Abdaal’s 2020 Reading List

In essence, it’s a fantastic book and had a transformative effect on my life. If you have a passing interest in entrepreneurship or just want to get a fresh perspective and critique of the stereotypical 9-5 lifestyle of the modern world then read this book.

I think anyone could gain quite a lot from reading this book and it certainly had an enormous impact on my own life.

This is an enormous book, but it’s one of my favourites of all time. It’s my most highlighted book on Kindle (by a very long way) and while I was reading it, I found myself nodding my head like a lunatic on almost every page.

This book has transformed my relationship with note-taking. I took copious notes while reading it, and everytime I review my highlights, I discover new nuggets. I’d say it’s a must-read for anyone who reads a lot.

This is one of the three books that most changed my life (the others being The 4-Hour Work Week and Anything You Want: 40 Lessons for a New Kind of Entrepreneur ). It completely changed the way I thought about sharing stuff online, and encouraged me to start my blog in January 2016.

He’s sitting opposite me reading a book that I recommended (The Third Door by Alex Banayan).

This is one of the most engaging books I’ve ever read and has already changed my outlook on the stories that happen every single day in our lives that usually just pass us by.

Another was A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, which was excellent as well, although in a different way.

Really good. One of my most highlighted books of all time. I learned so much about being a manager, and my management skills (and our team’s effectiveness and happiness) immediately improved after I started to do some of the things that Julie recommends.
