I love reading, yet I go in spurts with it. Because books serve a larger purpose in my life which is loving to learn.
If I’m taking a course, studying for a certification or stretching myself in some sort of way, reading is usually on the back burner. Then in the summer months, it’s not uncommon for me to have 2-3 books going at a time, depending on the mood I want while enjoying the Northern Michigan beaches.
With all the conversations I have about book recommendations, suggestions, and inquiries as to my favorites…I figured making the list and sharing my top 10 would be a fun newsletter. And, hopefully encourage you to share back one or two of your favorites as well.
In no particular order, here you are!
- The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership – John Maxwell
- The 4:8 Principle – Tommy Newberry
- The Comfort Crisis – Michael Easter
- You’re a Badass at Making Money – Jen Sincero
- Traction – Gino Wickman
- Dare to Lead – Brene Brown
- Quiet Strength – Tony Dungey
- The 6 Types of Working Genius – Patrick Lencioni
- Profit First – Mike Michalowicz
- The Surrender Experiment – Michael A. Singer
At the end of the day, books are good at providing information, yet bad at creating a journey of transformation. That’s what coaching is for.
If you find yourself saying, “I know what to do, I just don’t know how to make myself do it”, it could be time for a call.
Make it a great day!
