The Best Reading Lists

Reading Inspiration From World-Class Leaders

Reading long-form essays and books is one of my favorite ways to learn new things. While I try to let my intellectual curiosity dictate my reading habits, it can often be helpful to find inspiration from mentors or people you find interesting.

Inspired by Michael Nielsen’s tweet, I put together a collection of reading lists that I found to be particularly engaging and insightful. Enjoy!
