On this page is a collection of books that I have found helpful, both for myself and people who I’ve worked with.
I’ve included a wide variety of books, because I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Browse through them and see which catch your eye and might to be a good fit for you.
Invest in yourself! Many of these books cost less than a fast food meal.
