I recently posed the question on Facebook, “What is one book that has changed your life?” The response I received was overwhelming. Apparently there are a multitude of books that are life changers!
To me, reading is essential to growth professionally, personally and spiritually. Books stay a part of who you are and allow us to have access to the most brilliant and influential people of all time!
My goal last year was to read one book a month and this year I plan to double it for the sheer fact that I believe that when you invest time in continuing education you continue to up-level to your next best.
For your reading and up-leveling pleasure, I have compiled a list of titles from the responses my super-smartie friends sent in. What book would you add to this list?
