Top 10 Essential Books for Digital Nomads

Reading books about how to travel long-term in a way that is exciting and joyful and financially sustainable is super important. So is reading books on how to thoughtfully navigate the cultural nuances, complexities, and power dynamics of the places where we travel. And so is reading books that push us to reflect on the real reasons why we are traveling. After being a full-time digital nomad with no permanent base for over a decade, I’ve decided to narrow down my book recommendations and select my top ten. As a thank you for opting-in to the Maverick Show’s Monday Minute Newsletter, I will give you direct links to each of these books and explain why I selected them.
