We often hear that “readers are leaders” for me it is also true that “Learning is earning”
We are all the sum of our life’s experiences, nobody can offer what you can, we are all unique and have special powers and the ability to be anything we want to be! I truly believe this. Learning and progress is NOT linear. I am the perfect example of this.
Here are ten book recommendations for 2025, each accompanied by a brief synopsis and reasons why they are worth reading and if you only read one book this year start with Jim Kwik and then add some discipline with Make your bed, you’ll read it in one day and it will change your life and then another days read ‘The four Agreements’
I know I said only one, trust me you’ll thank me later. Enjoy the learning and if you have a personal favourite and why I should read it in 2025 please share in the comments.
