Recommended BOOKS
These are not all of the books I have read; but I have read all of these books. Each one is inspiring or instructive in some way.
Every single one of these books has made me a better thinker or communicator. The list is not supposed to be exhaustive, but these are some of my favourites. To narrow it down, I have only included works of non-fiction.
We all stand on the shoulders of giants. I hope that you find some magic in this reading list too.
