My Top Ten Books of 2022
/I love to read.
Annually at this time, I list my favorite books that I read during the year. I’ve logged 73 books read since January 1st and will probably have one or two more to round out the year.
Here is a subjective list of the books I enjoyed most in 2022.
Two are by authors I follow on LinkedIn (Ross Guberman and Jay Harrington). Although their books are aimed at attorneys, I find in them shovelful loads of actionable insights applying to my (non-lawyer) work as an expert consultant on insurance claim-handling.
Drumroll, please. My Top Ten list for 2022:
1. “Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence” by Anna Lembke
2. “Empire of the Scalpel: The History of Surgery” by Ira Rutkow
3. “Sweat: A History of Exercise” by Bill Hayes
4. "The Earned Life: Lose Regret, Choose Fulfillment” by Marshall Goldsmith
5. “The Productivity Pivot: Build a Profitable Legal Practice By Selling Yourself One Hour Every Day” by Jay Harrington
6. “Point Taken: How to Write Like the World's Best Judges” by Ross Guberman
7. “Scars and Stripes: An Unapologetically American Story of Fighting the Taliban, UFC Warriors, and Myself" by Tim Kennedy
8. “What Doesn't Kill Us Makes Us: Who We Become After Tragedy and Trauma” by Mike Mariani
9. "The Future Is Analog: How to Create a More Human World” by David Sax
10. “How to Take Smart Notes: One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning and Thinking – for Students, Academics and Nonfiction Book Writers” by Sönke Ahrens
