Renovation by Michael Litchfield
This product was recommended by Kevin Jefferson from PlainHelp
I am a general contractor and professional home improvement expert. Before I became that, I had been a very passionate DIY enthusiast. I credit my DIY passion, and the book Renovation by Michael Lichfield, for helping me find my calling in life. It was my DIY bible. It’s a great book to learn how to be a self-sufficient homeowner and to become very good at DIY. Sure, you can Google how-to tutorials and watch YouTube videos, but online resources like these always leave out background info of why something should be done the way it should be done or other important details. I had bought it when I was remodeling my first home, and I bought a newer edition recently, for sentimental reasons.

On Writing by Stephen King
This product was recommended by Becky Usanga from Techy10
On Writing could easily replace most high-school or first-year writing and communications classes (at the very least, it should be assigned reading for them all). I think, perhaps, the reason that it’s not is that Stephen King has long been unfairly maligned in academia as a “genre” writer. Because his books have ghosts and ghouls, they’re not “real” literature, and as such his memoir-slash-self-help-guide to writing well couldn’t POSSIBLY have anything worthy to teach us… Obviously, that’s complete nonsense. Even if you have no interest in “being a writer”, there’s still much you can learn from this book. King offers insights into the nature of determination, motivation, persistence, and resilience. And I have no doubt that you’ll call his style advice to mind when you’re writing an email or a book review blog (ahem). It’s a concise guide to writing and to overcoming obstacles, without the gimmicky nonsense that too-often populates the “self help” section.
A Swing for Life by Nick Faldo
This product was recommended by Alec Rose from Golfible
He simplified the golf fundamentals like iron swing, short game, full swing, sand, chipping, and putting. Plus, the book includes Microsoft tags that you can scan with your phone. These direct you to his best tips on YouTube which only book owners can view. I also remember that he revealed how he developed his “bullet-proof back-swing” and used it to create consistency. I highly recommend this book for beginners and also experienced golfers.
The Mosquito by Timothy C. Winegard
This product was recommended by Steven Walker from Spylix
When I picked up The Mosquito, I only had one thought: why do mosquitoes exist? I’ve wondered about it for a long time but never found a good solution. Contrary to popular perception, they do not provide food for other animals, do not pollinate fruits, and do not do anything other than spread disease and annoy us. But enough! The Mosquito taught me more than I could have anticipated. It wasn’t so much a creature’s history as it was a comprehensive assessment of how it influenced human history. Wars have been fought and lost depending on mosquito vulnerability.
The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
This product was recommended by Steven Walker from Spylix
Gladwell’s intelligent, entertaining inquiry into how ideas spread is not just a great read but also a lesson in the art of the pandemic. A life-altering viral video aside, grasping how ideas spiral is vital in today’s world.
A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
This product was recommended by Gagandeep Kaur from Yogic-experience
It is an excellent book to begin learning something new. This book is highly recommended for those who want to learn a bit about everything since the beginning of the universe. I was continually captivated and enthralled, and I ‘gobbled’ up every page. The book is written in a flowing, conversational tone that would inform everyone, even those with no prior knowledge of science. Though some parts of this book are outdated, the world’s thinking has shifted in certain areas, and there have been so many discoveries in recent years.

Embrace your Weird by Felicia Day
This product was recommended by Charles Cridland from YourParkingSpace
Let’s accept that everyone is a little quirky. It’s just that some of us find it easier to show our ‘weird’ side than others. The author believes that what makes us weird is the driver of our creativity and passion. The book has several examples of how Felicia found the courage to accept her uniqueness and boost her imagination. She shares her tools to defeat the mind-numbing monster that crushes our creativity and forces us to hide under a personal bushel basket.
Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari
This product was recommended by Lily Wright from VisualHunt
A list of books to learn new things will be incomplete without having Sapiens in it. From the beginning of this world to modern inventions, this book has tons of knowledge to offer. Harari takes us through the history of human development, migration, cognitive development, and the agricultural revolution. He explains how the currency system worked, how the religions emerged, the arrival of political thoughts, and the emergence of inequality. Sapiens might be the only history book that is so engaging. So, even if you have read the book already, this is a reminder to revisit some important historical developments.
10,000 Things You Need to Know by Elspeth Beidas
This product was recommended by Ryan Montgomery from Become
As the title suggests, this book has A LOT of things to teach. Also, if you are a list lover like me, this is just the perfect match for you. It is like an index of an encyclopedia. The book covers all the fun things like travel, games, food, movies, and music. It also has some serious stuff like science, history, and classical music. If you are looking for some fun and exciting things rounded up in one place, this book is it.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
This product was recommended by Marc Lamber from Lamber Goodnow Injury Lawyers
There are so many things to learn from this book. The quest of Santiago is a lesson about following your dreams and the risk associated with them. Not everyone is open to risking everything to chase their dreams, but the author re-affirms that when they decide to follow their dreams, the entire universe conspires in their favor. The author talks about the stage of the journey where everything goes haywire. It is easy to lose hope there and abandon the journey, but the traveler needs to know that they are closest to their destination from that point.
