Five Books: When Literacy Conquered Slavery, Nourishing Young Readers, Who Not How, and More!

Images by Author

Thousands of people trust me to bring them the absolute best book recommendations I can each week.

To do that, I go through the list of 1,000+ books that I’ve read and pick out the most unforgettable reads that have stood the test of time.

But there’s only so much that I can fit into one email without overwhelming people!

So, what I’ve been doing is publishing the “long” version of those emails here, and sending the short version to my email subscribers, same as always.

If you’d like to sign up for my email reading list but haven’t yet, you can do so here, and I have even more book reviews, recommendations, and reading tips on my YouTube channel.

I also treat my email subscribers VERY well, so I send them valuable extras that you can only get if you’re subscribed. (Join here!)

Today we’re taking a look at:

1 — Reader Come Home, by Maryanne Wolf

2 — Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom, by David W. Blight

3 — Who Not How, by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy

4 — Ikigai, by Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles
