About 12 Books

My blog 12 Books is an evolution of a book review project I did in 2018 called 52 Books.

I wanted to read more and write more, so I set the goal of reading and reviewing a book a week.

I couldn’t keep up with the grueling schedule, but the project had the intended effect anyway. I am happier and calmer and more focused on what matters to me.

In 2019, I’ll slow down and post a review each month instead of each week. To reflect that slower schedule, I’ve renamed my blog 12 Books.

I’ll write reviews of non-fiction books about personal finance, wealth mindset, leadership, careers, digital transformation and more.
