2017 in books

Always keep learning. Books help me to do this. In 2017 I read 80 of them. Not that quantity matters that much, but I’m quite confident that the majority of them taught me something new. Some of them even changed my perspective on life.

Here you will find a list with all of them. Feel free to ask me any questions about specific books, or if you need a recommendation.

We recorded a special podcast episode where I go a bit more into detail together with Pablo.
