The 21 Best Books Of 2021 For Sustainable Success And Well-Being

This list comes from a trusted source, The Growth Equation—people who do their best to live in the world with their eyes open, who read lots of books from a variety of disciplines and authors.

They are huge enthusiasts and supporters of deep reading, or full engagement in a book. Deep reading is an absolute joy. It is good for mind and spirit, and it is also an advantage in today’s knowledge-based economy. Increasingly, people struggle to pay attention to just about anything, let alone a book. Yet deep reading confers many benefits above and beyond watching a YouTube video or skimming an article. These benefits include developing a richer understanding of a topic, increasing your ability to pay attention itself, more empathy, and enhanced creative thinking.

The links go to Amazon, since that is where most people buy books on the internet these days. That said, they’ve also created a list over at Bookshop.org if you’d prefer to purchase over there to encourage supporting your local bookseller.
