42 Books You Can Read in a Single Day
YOUTUBE 📚 THE READING LIFE 📚 PATREON
📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.
A massive part of my success - an indispensable part of it, really - has been my lifelong commitment to reading great books.
Yes, books have made me a TON of money, as I’ve learned from the greatest business minds on the planet and relentlessly implemented on what they taught me.
But books have given me so much more than that.
They literally gave me my life back.
Not only that, but a deep commitment to reading helps you uncover what you’re actually making money FOR, which is kind of the whole point.
But you don’t have to spend all day reading to gain massive benefits from it.
Here are…
There are a few on there I haven’t read (7 of them, I think), but here are a few you might consider starting with:
📚 Fahrenheit 451
📚 The Alchemist
📚 Siddhartha
📚 The Picture of Dorian Gray
📚 The Stranger
📚 The Fall
📚 The Prophet
📚 On the Shortness of Life
📚 The Turn of the Screw
Can’t go wrong with any of those! You might just they help you relate to people better in business too. Fiction inspires the development of empathy, and empathy is CRUCIAL to cooperation and success in business and in life.

I don’t like how late I’m waking up OR getting to bed. I’m repeating patterns when I KNOW better. This won’t help me reach my June goals and I’ve been running out of time at the end of the day, leaving tasks unfinished.
And I still accomplished quite a bit! Don’t get me wrong. But I still could be doing so much better and achieving so much more. Being stuck at $5K per month SUCKS, and I think it’s time for me to invest in another coach.
But hey, it’s 5:15AM here right now and I’m going to bed!
All the best,
Matt Karamazov
