Books and courses that have been impactful to me.
I love to learn. I'm constantly reading or listening to new books, taking courses, engaging in masterminds, or reading through documents. In no particular order, I've put together a list of some of the books and resources I have found to be of great value.
Books
Atomic Habits - By James Clear
I’ve read many habits-related books, and I continue to return to James Clear’s Atomic Habits. I’ve listened to and read this book multiple times and always get something new out of it. James has a fabulous newsletter you can check out as well.
The Ultimate Jim Rohn Library
Jim Rohn’s strategies and philosophy have tremendously impacted my life. I recommend downloading the Audible app and investing in the audio collection.
Courses
Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects
This course was fascinating, and it’s free! I highly recommend this to anyone looking to gain new skills. Barbara Oakley is a fantastic instructor.
Learning Platforms
Udemy
Udemy has been a fantastic resource for my continued learning. I’ve studied development, marketing, business, design, and more through their courses. Most of my purchased courses have been less than $20 because they are always running specials. You can google Udemy coupons.
Free Code Camp
I started learning how to code way back in 5th grade. (2002) Most of this started with basic HTML and CSS. Over the next few years, I dabbled with PHP and C throughout high school. Then, I shifted more towards the business side of things until a few years ago. Free Code Camp was a fantastic resource for me to get started learning JavaScript and modern web development.
Misc
Typing Club
I started using TypingClub.com somewhere around 2021. I was in an immersive coding program then and struggled to keep up during some lectures and code-alongs. I committed to going through typing club for 10 minutes for the next year until I was at 80 WPM with minimal errors. It took way less than a year. The consistent daily effort made a huge difference. Now I’m at roughly 100 wpm on average.
