The Books of Titans
In 2017, after reading Tim Ferriss's Tools of Titans, I decided to up my reading game. Inspired by the book recommendations from high achievers, I set a goal of reading 52 books a year. I made a list of all the titles, threw them in random order, and dove in, tackling fiction and non-fiction alike.
The 52-book goal stuck. Year after year, I kept exploring new worlds and ideas through reading. Then, in 2022, I started noticing a pattern: books often referenced or built upon other books.
