Book List 2024

2024 was a year of breakthroughs in my career and finances. Although the last couple of years were tough, I learned again the value of waiting on God and staying disciplined. I believe that the conditioning of my heart and mind over the past years enabled me to excel in my new role this year and really enjoy it. Additionally, the financial investment strategy I experimented with in 2023 yielded significant returns in 2024 (62% ROI, +30% over NASDAQ). The floodgates of heaven have opened, and I am truly grateful for it.

Here are the books I read this year. It’s interesting to reflect on the books I started at the beginning of the year when I was feeling down.
