Heyo, here with a quick note that we've finished yet another awesome, free, inspiring book list for you: The 60 Best History Books of All Time.
Why are history books important? Simple: As humans, we can only remember our own past — but thanks to this mind-blowing technology called books we can "remember" a lot more than just the things we've experienced ourselves.
If you ask me, if you want to be successful, history books are the most important ones to read of all. Why? They will allow you to see patterns from the past repeat today and then capitalize on them. Plus, they'll help you avoid mistakes others have already made hundreds of years ago.
A good history book will transport you to a time and place in which you'll never live and introduce you to people you'll never get to meet. Best of all, it'll drop you off back home safely and in time for dinner!
Whether you're curious, care about society and our planet, or want to be successful, you could do worse than to start with the history section in the library. Ray Dalio, CEO of the world's largest hedge fund, credits studying history for his great understanding of macroeconomics — reading history books literally made him a billionaire!
