What Are You Reading These Days?

"I think books are like people, in the sense that they’ll turn up in your life when you most need them."? ~ Emma Thompson

?

I love that quote because I believe it is so true. As they say, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear,"? and books can be great teachers in so many ways. Sometimes a book contains a story you can relate to because you feel like your living that same experience. Sometimes a book can guide you back on track if you've veered off the path. Sometimes it can give you a new perspective on life, relationships, yourself, history, etc.? There are so many ways that books can impact your life.

Occasionally, I have the opportunity to share books that have impacted me in a big way with others. Recently, I was invited by Ben Fox and the folks at Sheperd.com to do exactly that!

Below is a link to my recommendation that I recently made. Please know I am not saying these books will change your life or even impact you in any way. These are simply books that impacted me, I share them along with my reasoning why they were so impactful in the hopes that they may strike a chord with you.

Here is the link: My Favorite 3 Books of 2024

Last, please feel free to share the books that have impacted you or that you simply enjoyed reading this past year and do a big group share.

Who knows you might share a book that could positively impact someone else's life!

Till next week...

Intriguing list Joe, thanks for sharing. These aren't "standard" leadership books, making the recommendations all the more valuable and insightful.
