I've seen a lot of book lists making the rounds on Twitter lately...

Thought it'd be nice if they were all in one place.

So here they are: 10 of the best book lists on Twitter 📚
1/ @AlexAndBooks_

Alex is obviously an expert on books, I mean c'mon. His Twitter handle is "Alex And Books"

The list: "20 Books so good you'll want to read them twice."
2/@RyanHoliday

A personal favorite of mine, Ryan is perhaps the most prolific reader I am aware of.

In his own words, he states, "I read a lot, well, because it's my job."

42 books Ryan says will change your life for the better:
3/ @lainitaylor

OK, this one's a little bit different, but I couldn't resist including it.

Laini provides a different take on a book list, and I love it.

A collection of great opening lines.

This is awesome.
4/@landforce

Someone who I've come to consider a friend, Colin recently dropped two massive book lists on topics I can't get enough of:

History & Biographies.

Check them out here:
5/ @MrJacobEspi

Jacob has recently been making a dedicated effort to grow his online presence.

Sharing lists like these 21 books on leadership will inevitably lead to more people wanting to see what he's all about.

Find out for yourself:
6/ @pmarca

With a $1.7B net worth as of 2021, Marc Andreesen has done ok for himself.

I'm a big fan of finding out what inputs influence the thinking of successful people.

With this in mind, here's a list Marc shared back in 2018:
7/ @sweatystartup

Nick has been uber-successful at a very young age.

Here are ~30 of the books that have shaped his thinking around life, business, and self-improvement.
8/ @BrianFeroldi

Brian has a huge following and has put it to use for us all.

Back in July, he asked his audience "What book do you re-read the most?"

Here are the top 20 answers:
9/ @BarackObama

Each year, the former President shares his list of favorite reads.

Regardless of which side of the political aisle you're on, it's pretty interesting to see what the Commander in Chief is reading in his spare time.
10/ @joulee

I enjoy reading Julie's writing on Twitter, so I went in search of a list of her recommended readings...

Found one here!

11/ In closing:

“If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I'm sure I've missed some great lists: Please share them in the comments!

Apple has sold over 200 Million Macs

Yet most users don't know half of what they're capable of.

Here are 7 Things you didn't know your Mac could do. 💻
1/ Specific Screenshots:

SHIFT+CMD+3 will capture your entire screen.

Did you know you can also narrow your capture to a specific portion?

It's easy, & now that I know it exists, I use it every day.

A simple SHIFT+CMD+4 and you're on your way.
2/ Digital Signatures:

Have a PDF you need to sign?

Let's skip all the printing, physical signing, scanning, etc.

Using the "preview" app you can easily create a digital signature.

All you need is a pen, a white piece of paper, & your Mac's camera.

"Choices are not your friend."

How @tferriss makes fewer decisions and gets more done. 🧵
You've only got so much to give.

Be it physically or mentally, in the end, we all have our limits.

As we try to push ourselves toward maximum output, we end up experiencing an adverse effect.

In an effort to do more, we accomplish less.
According to Ferris, we need to find our "MED" or "Minimum Effective Dose."

Put simply, it's the minimum amount of effort required to achieve our desired result.

In any situation, there comes a point of diminishing returns.

A point where the effort is > the reward.
