My top 5 reads of 2010

Max Effgen, December 27, 2010

Lots of actual books read this year. Here are the top 5 I read in terms of personal impact:


4 Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss
Enjoyable and eye-opening read. Worth checking it out. Digging into his new book The 4-Hour Body.


A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
A different historical and enlightening read. I was amazed at how interconnected many of the great men of science have been throughout history.


Born to Run by Christopher McDougall
An addictive read. Made me ditch my orthotics.


Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard by Chip Heath and Dan Heath
Another great book with useful strategies by the Heath brothers.


How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
Re-read for the first time since high school and it has proven to be have biggest impact on me in 2010. A classic worth revisiting in the upcoming year.
