<aside> 🚢 This is the Best Books section of The Dickie’s Digest Best Of 2023 Curation.
I originally wanted to create a list of my personal favorite things of 2023—books, podcasts, purchases, habits, lessons, places I visited, etc.
But I thought it would be more fun (and valuable) instead to curate the best recommendations of a wide variety of people, rather than just me.
So below you’ll find links to the 50 most popular book episode recommendations I received after polling roughly 375,000 people on X.
Plenty here to keep you learning & listening through the holidays and into 2024!
If you enjoyed these, check out some of the links to the right to share them with a friend or with your audience. And if you have recommendations that I should add, DM me on Twitter and I’ll add it to the list!

<aside> ⁉️ If you’re a Notion user, you can click on the table below and “duplicate” this page in the top-right-hand corner to bring it into your workspace.
And you can also download this entire list as a Google Sheet here!
