Some of the Best Biographies to Read in 2023

There’s something magical about a well-written biography. I think it lies in the truth of the matter. To read a story and experience the life of someone else — one that isn’t fictional — can be a truly reawakening experience.

Lessons can be learned, beliefs can be changed, and thoughts can be internalized. It’s the idea that you can learn from the past, by re-living their experience, mistakes, loves, and successes.

That’s the beauty of biographies, and I hope you enjoy the following list of some of the best biographies to read as much as I did.
