Are you reading these books?

A couple of weeks ago I let you in on a secret (I’m working on my next book!) and I also asked you a question: 

“What books are you reading to help you advance in your career and why did you choose them?”

I received so many thoughtful responses and many of you asked for the full list of recommendations, so here’s the complete list.

And below are a few highlights of the books endorsed by your fellow high achievers, along with a note from each recommender.

📚 for working with People

The Path Between Us: An Enneagram Journey to Healthy Relationships

“This book includes sites for enneagram tests and helpful insights into how we can grow and learn based on our personality biases.”

“Right people + right places = opportunities. The author of this book remarks the importance of networking and planning ahead. To achieve future growth takes time and a lot of personal development.”

📚 for working on the Business
