Core Reading For A Values Based Mindset
The following is an evolving list of books that we recommend all of our clients read at least once…and several at least once per year. Note: We read at least 100 books per year and have a lot more to share, but, this is the Core list. These are books that should be read with a notebook ready to capture ideas and notes.
