2021 Summer Reading List: Mine
Earlier this week I pitched ten books that I think you should read this summer. But I don’t just want to tell you what to read. I want to share what I hope to tackle between now and Labor Day:
Atomic Habits: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results (James Clear)
Befriend: Create Belonging in an Age of Judgment, Isolation, and Fear (Scott Sauls)
Confronting Injustice Without Compromising Truth: 12 Questions Christians Should Ask About Social Justice (Thaddeus Williams)

Is This Anything? (Jerry Seinfeld)
Made for More: An Invitation to Live in God’s Image (Hannah Anderson)
Ready or Not: Kingdom Innovation for a Brave New World (Doug Paul)
Ten Words to Live By: Delighting in and Doing What God Commands (Jen Wilkin)
The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else in Business (Patrick Lencioni)
The Infinite Game (Simon Sinek)
The President’s Book of Secrets: The Untold Story of Intelligence Briefings to America’s Presidents (David Priess)
The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company (Bob Iger)

What do you have on to your list for the summer? I’d love to know about it. Comment below.
The good folks over at the FTC want me to tell you the following: if you order a resource from a link on this page, I may receive a small affiliate commission from Amazon. If that bugs you, feel free to bypass my link and buy from a vendor of your choice. But still: buy it. I only promote items that have benefitted me and that I believe will benefit you.
Wow! That is an ambitious list! The Seinfeld book is a fun read. I bought it for my son for Christmas and tried to read a lot of it before I gave it to him…carefully turning pages so as not to crease them! :). Right now I’m reading The Power of Habit at your recommendation. (The brain is just so fascinating to me!) But it takes me a while to get through a book. Hope you get to read them all! Happy summer!!
I need to slow WAY down when reading a book, to be honest! I can finish one and am guilty of not remembering what I read!
Congratulation on an excellent and varied list – just the right kind of reading list for summer, or anytime!
My annual Summer Reading for Guest Experience series debuts on Tuesday, but here’s a hint: what significant event happens later this year in my favorite organization that would be worthy of dedicating a summer reading series – 16 books in all – to?
I’ll take “what is the 50th anniversary of The Most Magical Place on Earth?”
Now THAT sounds exciting! I may have to rethink my list.
