20 Books That Will Change Your Life in 2024

If you would’ve showed me this blog post 10 years ago I probably would’ve rolled my eyes. I’m aware the title is a bit hyperbolic. Let me preface this list with a couple disclaimers. Just simply reading (or listening to, if you’re an audiobook fan) these books will not change your life. If you go in with a curious, open mind and a willingness to learn, you will see change. Not every word of every page will resonate, but there will be plenty of takeaways and actions you can take right now to improve your life. If you knew me 5, 10 years ago, you’re aware that I’m not the same person. In some ways, yes, but it’s very clear I am a more confident, disciplined, healthier, happier version of myself today than I was then. Little shifts started to happen around the same time I began reading these books, which I don’t believe is a coincidence. Enough rambling, hopefully you’re picking up what I’m putting down. Here’s the list!
