Top Books That Could Change Your Life
Curated by Scott Scanlon
A list like this is subjective, just how much could a book change your life? Of course, that depends on who you are but ultimately it comes down to learning something new, be that a new way of thinking or approaching life, or what I think is often overlooked-- permission. Sometimes after we finish a book full of great insight (or wisdom) it's as if a permission switch has been flipped inside us. We suddenly have a new lease on business or life. Also these are a mix of business and personal books.
