Lessons from 2024: What I Learned in My First Year of 30

by Maneetpaul Singh

Lessons from 2024 is a short, personal reflection on a transformative year in my life. Turning 30 brought unexpected changes, challenges, and lessons—from running my first half marathon to starting graduate school, navigating mental health, and rethinking how I approach money, spirituality, and time management.

This book isn’t about giving advice or claiming to have it all figured out. Instead, it’s a snapshot of where I am right now—a candid collection of thoughts that might resonate with you, inspire you, or just make you feel a little less alone in figuring things out.

Whether you know me from YouTube or stumbled across this by chance, you don’t need any background to jump in. It’s an easy read you can finish in under an hour, but the lessons might stick with you much longer.

About the author

Hi there! I’m Maneetpaul Singh, but I almost always go by Maneet (pronounced muh-neet). I’m a YouTuber, author, and digital creator who’s passionate about helping people fall in love with reading—one e-reader at a time.

Since 2020, I’ve been sharing my love for book tech on YouTube, focusing on Kindles, e-readers, and the tools that make reading easier and more enjoyable. With over 30,000 subscribers, I’ve built a community of book lovers who are just as excited about the future of reading as I am.

When I’m not creating videos, I’m diving into nonfiction with my monthly book club, where we explore big ideas and practical lessons. I also send out a weekly newsletter to share insights and keep the conversation going.

These days, I call Connecticut home, where I’m always on the hunt for the perfect slice of pizza.

Another excellent short read from Maneet!
Valuable insights on AI, the to-do list vs. calendar workflow, the Sikh religion, and more from a personal experience perspective—all of which deeply resonate with my experiences this year.

It was a good read learning about Maneetpaul and his life. I liked that he mentioned his religion because I learned about it. Maneetpaul does a lot and managed to keep it all together. The only downside to his book is that it was too short a book for the price paid for it.
