20 Books To Read In Your 20’s

I love reading. So much so that I find myself reading 2-3 books at a time. Not the most effective but hey, that’s how I roll.

Let’s get into this post. Here are 20 books I highly recommend every 20-something year old read (in no particular order).

---

1. “Who Moved My Cheese?” Adorable, short and to the point a must read if you are pondering life changes.
2. “Lean In.” Check out my review on this book. One of the best books out there.
3. “The Four Hour Workweek.” Game changing insights for those that question the 9-5 life. This book literally changed my perspective.
4. “Smart Women Finish Rich.” Why it’s especially important for women to focus on their own financial life.
5. “The Millionaire Next Door.” A bit of a data filled book, but very interesting none-the-less. You’ll be shocked at what the typical millionaire looks like.
6. “Think and Grow Rich.” An oldie, but a goodie.
7. “Mindset.” Fascinating book that discusses fixed and growth mindsets- very eye opening.
8. “When Things Falls Apart.” This book helped me reframe my hard times in life to be positive learning experiences.
9. “Jab Jab Jab, Right Hook.” Interesting book on how to effectively use social media- and in this day and age, it’s a given.
10. “Vagabonding.” For your inner wanderluster. <3
11. “Debt Free U.” I find myself quoting this book all the time. Such a good read!
12. “Miracles Now.” I adore Gabby Bernstein and this book spoke to my “spirit junkie” side by teaching different meditation practices.
13. “Predictably Irrational.” Taught me how we don’t really make our own decisions free of influence.
14. “Getting to Yes.” All about negotiation and collaborating to get what you truly want in a win-win situation.
15. “Contagious, How Things Catch On.” Just an good read with lots of examples, interesting stories and inside look on why things go viral. (A must if you like marketing).
16. “Half the Sky.” Highlights women oppression in the world and how we can work together and be part of the solution.
17. “The Five Love Languages.” Knowing how people feel loved is critical for all types of relationships. Also interesting to discover how we want to be loved.
18. “The Compound Effect.” Small actions every day compound into massive successes.
19. “Never Eat Alone.” Perspective on how to create and maintain relationships.
20. “Rich Dad Poor Dad.” This book launched my interest in personal finance.

There you have it; twenty books to read in your 20’s. None of these are fictional books, because I truly believe that reading non-fiction is one of the best ways to self-educate.

If you aren’t a fan of reading an actual book, or are super short on time, I *highly* suggest getting an Audible subscription. I easily read 3-4 books a month through audio books.

Happy reading!
