Medium’s Most Recommended Stories of 2016

Our annual roundup of community favorites from Medium.

When I collected the most recommended Medium articles of 2015, I didn’t think that this could become the series that it is now. Now, in 2016, I’ve spent another full year collecting the best stories for a sequel to last year’s roundup.

Thanks to Daily Top Stories, I gathered the most recommended Medium stories of 2016 easily. The list was created manually — but with a little dedication and curiosity, that was no problem.

It helps that I’m a ravenous reader, especially of many of the most popular categories this year: entrepreneurship, life lessons, design, politics.

If you want to download the whole listing that includes 253 stories which have more than 2500 recommendations, enter your email in the box below and it’ll come right to your inbox!
