Professional Development Book Recommendations
All of life’s lessons have been learned before. For some strange reason we find the need to learn things on our own. We kind of get in the mind frame of a teenager that tell their parent’s “I know, I know” and insist to learn life’s lessons hard way. One of the greatest ways to prevent having to learn life lessons the hard way is to read, reflect and implement. There are an unlimited amount of free resources available to help you in your life journey. Take advantage of these helpful guides by reading, reflecting and then actually implementing their insights in your life.
Below are a list of books I have either read or listened to. They have helped me shift my mind to a greater purpose, a more fulfilling present and a inspired promising future.

My goal from here is to continue to read new books but also go back over the books I read, outline some highlights, ensure I’m implementing the essentials and connect with the authors where possible. I plan to up date my list and the highlights through time.
