Over the holiday break I had a chance to restructure my bookshelves and do one of my favorite things...meander through my books!
Books are NOT just for nerds like me. Books are a wise conversation with an old soul.
Hemingway said, “no friend is as loyal as a book.”
Jefferson said simply, “I cannot live without books.”
Or how about this more modern Game Of Thrones reference, “... a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.”
You will need to keep your edge throughout 2020 as it is an important year, and books will sharpen you.
Here are four books that I recommend you load up for 2020 and spend time re-investing in yourself (in no particular order)...
This is not a list of my top books of all time (that may come later this year)...but some powerful reads to keep you engaged in this important year of re-investment.
Re-invest in yourself...set a timer for 10 minutes per day and commit to reading.
Just read.
“But reading is boring!” Read anyway until that mindset changes:).
Be like my buddy TJ who does not consider himself a reader but realized last year the impact that reading has on his family...look closely at one of my favorite pictures...
It is a life-discipline that will TRANSFORM you.
P.s. - you can add my book Let Your Business Burn to your list, and while you’re at it register for our next free BOP Webinar in February RIGHT HERE “Start Hiring The RIGHT PEOPLE: Watch Me Build A Predictable Hiring Process Right In Front Of Your Eyes”
