101 Great Books?

I was wondering the other day how many books I have read that have influenced what I and TCFP does and how we go about it.

I was surprised that it was 101. That’s quite a neat number and entirely unmanipulated. I have read many more books than those listed below but not kept them for various reasons.

The books listed below are those I have kept. Some I found packed with good ideas and insights and others less so. Some I agreed with entirely and others not at all. Regardless of which camps they fall into I recommend them all.
