To read, or not to read? Is not a question!

At least not for any growth minded individual.  Reading exposes you to the wisdom of teachers both past and present.  I personally have a goal to read a “Book a Week”!  Below are all books that I have personally read since beginning this challenge.  

In each book review, I share a brief overview of my experience along with a few key insights and quotes.  I’m a bit all over the place in my selection, but I am confident that if you filter to a category of your interest you will find something that calls to you!.
