Everyone’s been asking me for book recommendations for 2021, so here goes!
(I’m not going to link them here or else this email might go to spam, just search them up on Amazon)
1) The Price of Tomorrow - Jeff Booth
Best book I read in 2020, hands down. Nearly prophetic in nature.
Predicted everything that happened in 2020 and THEN SOME.
Quick read, I read it in 3 hours and my mind has been obliterated since.
2) The Future is Faster Than You Think - Peter H. Diamandis
Those that understand technology will rule the rest of this century. This book was an eye opener in more ways than one. Also makes for extremely good dinner conversation material :)
3) Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future - Ashlee Vance
Read this on my honeymoon. LITERALLY couldn’t put it down. My wife made fun of me as I would walk from my beach chair to the bathroom holding my kindle, never even looking up.
If you’ve been wondering why Tesla went up 700% in 2020, this is the book for you.
(oh, and if you aren’t inspired by Elon’s savage work ethic by the end, I’m not sure you read the book)
4) Zero to One - Peter Thiel
I’ve read this 10 times front to back. One of the most insightful and thought provoking business books ever written. Written by someone who has founded MULTIPLE Billion Dollar Companies. Enough said.
5) This Book Will Save You Time - Misir Mahmudov
90 minute book. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought of it since reading it. Re-defines how you think about your most precious resource, time.
6) Hell Yeah or No - Derek Sivers
Epic. Unlike anything else. Thought provoking. Memorable.
I’m serious. Derek Sivers is some sort of book Savant. Recommend ANYTHING by him. This dude seriously thinks DIFFERENTLY.
I’ve told his “Give 50% effort and get the same result” story 100 times by now.
7) Anything You Want - Derek Sivers
Did I mention this guy is incredible? Just read it. It’s one of the most practical and HELPFUL books ever written. Quick read too.
8) Essentialism - Greg McKeown
Remember how I keep telling you guys that only 1% of your decisions matter? This book basically says that, but much smarter than I ever could. Read it. Soak in it. Can you bathe in a book? Idk, but you should try.
9) Bitcoin: Hard Money You Can't F*ck With: Why bitcoin will be the next global reserve currency - Jason A. Williams
Yes, that’s the title.
Was shocked by how READABLE yet RIVETING the arguments in here are.
Somehow Jason uses his unique “swagger” to convey complex economic topics and tie a bow on it in a way that ANYONE can understand and that will actually stick with you long after you’ve put it down.
10) Unscripted: MJ DeMarco
Can’t round out the top 10 without this one. Teaches you how to ditch the hamster wheel that society has you on, forever.
Should be required reading for every human in the World.
But I guess if that was the case, the “system” wouldn’t be around for much longer….

Honorable mentions because I love you guys. Some classics in here. Most are so epic the author doesn’t even need to be named, just search in Amazon. It’s the one with 20 million 5 star reviews haha.
11) Think and Grow Rich
12) The Magic of Thinking Big
13) How to win friends and influence people.
14) The Obstacle is the Way
15) Built to Sell
16) Atomic Habits
17) The Millionaire Fast Lane - MJ DeMarco
18) Purple Cow - Seth Godin
If you enjoyed this, let me know in the comments, and forward this to anyone who likes to read.

Thank you to all the authors who wrote these masterpieces.
You’ve literally changed my life.
Kale
p.s. My wife wanted to mention that her top 2 are
1) VERITY by COLLEEN HOOVER
and “if you like love stories more”
2) HOPELESS by COLLEEN HOOVER
Apparently anything by Colleen Hoover is amazing.
