So here we are, the last week of 2024, and as promised, I have the very last book recommendation for you. This time around, I’m going to talk about my top five reads of 2024. I have to say, it wasn’t an easy task trying to distill the 50+ books I read this year into just five. Some of these books are classics, while others are more contemporary, but most of them were new reads for me.

The clock is ticking, and there are about two weeks left until the end of the year—or in other words, two more book recommendations before the end of 2024. This week, I am bringing something completely new. It’s a new experience for me personally because, for the first time ever, I’ve read a book on a subject that I can’t say I was very interested in before. That’s not to say the topic isn’t interesting or that I don’t care about it, but I never saw myself going out of my way to purchase a book about it.

As we get closer to the end of the year, people usually start reflecting—or at least I do—on what they’ve accomplished over the past 12 months. I start remembering my sometimes long-forgotten New Year’s resolutions from January 1st and begin piecing together a retrospective of the year. Was it a productive year? Did I accomplish the things I set out to do? Did unexpected events take place? How close did I stick to the original plans?

Hey everyone, this is Og Maciel from Bellwether with another book recommendation for you. Bellwether was this crazy idea I had when my wife and I booked an Airbnb place here in North Carolina. We wanted to celebrate our upcoming wedding anniversary in advance. My wife surprised me with this place in the middle of nowhere. As we spent three days there, we started talking about some of the things we wanted to achieve in 2024.
