I’m working on a project that will help people navigate the coming tumultuous 2020s, and emerge wealthier and stronger than before.
While researching this project, these are the books which most informed my understanding of where America is at, and how the crisis will unfold throughout the coming decade.
I like to multi-task by listening to books while I do chores like laundry and dishes. Sometimes I will re-listen on double-speed to review what I learned the first time around.
