A ritual that I adopted since 2021, inspired by Barrack Obama, is to create a reading wishlist at the start of every year and to reflect on the completed and abandoned book list as the year concludes. The wishlist has served me this far as a structure of goals that I am excited about for the year. Here is my 2024 wishlist. The Maniac, Benjamin Labatut Rebecca, Daphne Du Maurier Humanly Possible , Sarah Bakewell (Audible) The Best Minds, Jonathan Rosen All the Sinners Bleed, SA Cosby Wellness, Nathan Hill Bittersweet, Susan Cain Night Crawling, Leila Motley Think like a Monk, Jay Shetty The Adapted Mind, John Tooby There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness, Non Fiction, Carlo Rovelli Until the End of time, Brian Greene Short stories by Nobel Prize winners- collection The Ultimate Deepak Chopra collection (Audible) 2023 list: https://deepthig.blogspot.com/2023/01/2023-book-list.html
