100 books you need to read before you die

A few weeks ago, “SeekLifeMastery” posted a fantastic thread on Twitter with the “100 books you need to read before you die“. As I went through it, I found that it was indeed an excellent list, and one that I need to work on quite a bit as I’ve only read about 25 of the books so far.

As a bonus, since most are business books, the vast majority of them can be found on Blinkist. While I’ll certainly read the full copies of many of them, I suspect I’ll “blink” quite a few as well.

The list is a little hard to follow on Twitter, so I’ll lay it all out here in a clean list.
