100 Best Business, Coaching, Wealth, Health Books

If you’re anything like me, you like reading (a lot). It started when I was young; I found solace in reading, new ideas, and inspiration. Petrarch said over 700 years ago, “books delight the very marrow of one’s bones.” My entire career as a teacher has been devoted to learning and growth, and as a result, I am privileged to have the time to read so many beautiful books. Reading is a way of life; my books are my friends, mentors, and business partners. The list below are some of my favorite books which have shaped my mindset and changed my life, and I hope they do for you also.
