Bill Gates Just Recommended These 5 Books – Here’s Where You Can Order Them Online In South Africa

Bill Gates does many things, and one of those is reading quite a bit - so he gave us a list of five book he thinks people should read.
Bill Gates, co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and former head of Microsoft, poses with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the German federal chancellery on November 14, 2013 in Berlin, Germany. Gates was expected to discuss how Germany's government could work with his foundation to meet many of the Millennium Development Goals by 2015, when the country assumes presidency of the G8. *** Local Caption *** Bill Gates; Angela Merkel

For some people, making those millions is the goal of their young life. Soaking in every hint, tip, and technique of the already successful is their daily life goal.

Sure, it has been proven that the more you read for success, the easier success will find you.

Bill Gates’ blog is one of those places online where you can do just that. Gates’ Notes is his personal blog where he shares about the people he has meet, the books he is reading, and what he is learning and encourages you to join in the conversation.

He just suggested his 2016 book list, and the blog post even came with a little animation to explain his recommendations. Check:

Here’s the list and where you can buy them:

  1. Seveneves by Neal Stephenson – Loot.co.za
  2. How Not to be Wrong by Jordan Ellenberg – Loot.co.za
  3. The Vital Question by Nick Lane – Loot.co.za
  4. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Noah Yuval Harari – Loot.co.za
  5. The Power to Compete by Ryoichi Mikitani and his son, Hiroshi Mikitani – Loot.co.za

I’m totally keen to read those books. A Bill Gates-inspired book club, anyone?
