My July reading recap, books that will dramatically improve your life, and what’s in store for August

Get My List of 100 Books That Will DRAMATICALLY Improve Your Life (Free)

I read 7 books last month and it doesn’t feel like it at all — which is probably because most of them were so short.

Three of them were under 150 pages, and two were audiobooks, but they were all worth reading, and I have dozens of pages of notes (combined) from all of them.

One of them wasn’t short at all, but just felt short because of how compulsively readable it was. It’s a nonfiction book that reads like a novel, and it’s the second book on my list.

The fifth book I finished last month was also the 1,300th book I’ve finished reading since 2014 — so that was cool!

For now, my full Reading List of all 1,300+ books is right here, my complete notes from each book is right here, and let’s just get right into the first book I read last month: How to Make a Few Billion Dollars, by Brad Jacobs…
