I started reading books on a regular basis in 2020 when I created Mustread. This pushed me to read more because I have discovered many fascinating books. I try to read 1-2 books a month (sometimes less, sometimes more). Most of them are great, so I’d like to highlight them in case you’re looking for a book. (Note: I mention here only non-fiction books, mostly on business, startup, psychology, biography, or self-help topics).
If you have any recommendations, feel free to reach out with the book and why to read it!
