My Top 21 Book Recommendations and 60+ Others Too!
“Will, can you recommend me a good personal development book please?”
I get this question weekly
My usual response to the above question is “what are you trying to achieve or what is your current challenge, so I can ensure I suggest one based on your desire or needs?”
Obviously, I can’t ask you this question.
So I have decided to put together my top recommendations.
I love learning from books. You often get wisdom it has taken the author decades to learn themselves in a matter of days.
You have my personal top 21 (it was top 15 but I can’t pick what ones to remove) and then my top picks based on category too.
These are all books I have read or listened to and I will update this list reguarly.
Happy learning!
