One of the goals I wrote down for 2017 was to set aside more time for reading. I've found reading to be one of the best ways to organize my thoughts and inspire growth in my life.
I'm often asked for a list of books or a reading list for people getting started on their self-development journey. It was hard to come up with a short list and even harder to not write a book report on each one.
I narrowed it down by only including books I have found myself revisiting again and again.
I'm always open to suggestions and I'd love to hear what books you've read that you keep coming back to.
