Great choices as always. Change, Connection, and Hope are timely themes we all need books for this season!

50/50 chance the person posting these hasn't actually read all of them - few actually read these cover to cover. whenever i see someone reference gladwell, 2/3 of a chance they are a douche

This is a great list! I’d like to add: The Upswing: How America Came Together a Century Ago and How We Can Do It Again

Book by Robert D. Putnam and Shaylyn Romney Garrett

Certainly not a new book for 2024. But, a hopeful read that gives some context to our current political climate and (I argue) hope that we can pull through again ❤️

No fiction. No history. No biography’s. Disappointing.

Fantastic! How can we change our education system based on a 20 books? That's the question I'm interested in: What is education?

We need to change something in the system, the trend is set and it is only going to get worse.
