Recommended Books
The following list of books is extensive. I’ve read them all… and have only included books in this list that I have gotten value from reading. I know it’s hard to know which book to choose from a list. I suggest that you find a section that resonates with you, look through the titles, and pick one or two that intuitively feel right. Really… you can’t go wrong with any of them!
Happy reading!
