Ok, so this is just going to be a long list, including the books I’m currently working on. And it started as a list of my favorite books and became a list of all the books I read this year.
I want to challenge you to be intentional about finding some books that will help you grow in your thinking, and then find time every week to read and then to journal about what you’re learning.
To highlight a few, I’ve bolded the ones that I think you should go buy right now.
When you get serious about becoming the person that your big dreams need you to be, finding the right next book to read will become your new favorite thing.
I used to be a big Black Friday shopper, but all I bought this year was Ego is the Enemy, because I want to navigate that tension between fear and pride and find that steady, confident service-oriented space in the middle; and the paper version of The Big Leap, to make it easier to do a series of Facebook live videos about it, because his concepts have changed my life the most this year, along with Brooke Castillo’s thought framework, which is what my personal business coach uses.
Happy Reading!
