books read in 2022

This year I really leaned into reading. I chose books that were challenging, moving, interesting, and that had good stories to tell. I wanted to read books that could change me and how I understood the world.

The list below are the books I finished reading in 2022. I’ve still got a few I’m currently reading–if I finish them before New Years I’ll update the list. I included links in case you would like to grab a copy for yourself.

Note that for most of these books, not only did I read them, but I also summarized, analyzed, and discussed them in podcasts and newsletters. I’ve got an annotated list of which episodes go with which books over on Patreon, but you can also just scroll through the list of podcasts and newsletters to find ones you are interested in.

I decided to keep a list because I wanted to keep track of my reading, sure, but also because now I have a goal for the next year–now I have a benchmark for the number of rewarding books to read in 2023!

With all that said, here are the books I finished reading in 2022:
