Die With Zero
This book has all the underpinnings of economics between the lines. It does a great job of trying to highlight what is important.
A growing, opinionated list — sorted by what they're about rather than how famous they are. Five categories, a few books in each. Each one earned its spot for a different reason.

We all have changes we need to implement, sometimes it's as simple as understanding the tricks to implementing these changes. Think on what Lao Tzu once said, "watch you thoughts..."
Think you have time for all those tasks. Well take the time to read this and you will re-evaluate how and what you spend your time on.
Having taugh mathematics and statistics for a long time, and having a genuine love of math. It was always hard to hear from students the "I hate math, I've never been good..." well sometimes the most important aspect is your mindset.
The book that recruits trail runners. Whether or not you believe every claim, the story of the Tarahumara will get you outside.
The most honest book about what actually limits human performance — and how much of that limit is in your head. Required reading for ultra-distance hopefuls.
The bible for all skiers to read, it's that starting point for any skier getting ready to think about training. Is it older, yes, it is still all accurate, mostly, is it fast and easy to consume the information? YES. Hard to find!
One season inside Mark Wetmore's CU cross-country program. A childhood book I read about the CU team.
Perhaps one of my favorite recommendations, great to read after or along James Clear's Atomic Habits.
Building culture is key to any team or organization.
The book I wish every new instructor read in their first month. Spaced practice and retrieval are not tricks — they're how learning works.
Tiny, evidence-backed changes to your courses that add up. The opposite of a curriculum overhaul — and far more likely to actually happen.
Still the best book on writing clearly. I tell every student that the most underrated business skill is the ability to write a short, honest paragraph.
Foundational. The land ethic still hits as hard as it did in 1949. Read "Thinking Like a Mountain" once a year, minimum.
Indigenous wisdom and Western science braided together into something better than either on its own. A book you'll keep returning to.
Cantankerous, contradictory, indispensable. Abbey's season at Arches before the pavement is still the best book about the American Southwest.
An argument for putting some difficulty back into modern life. Halfway through. Cautiously optimistic.
Reading for the teaching side of my brain. I'll have a verdict in a few weeks.
