2018 Reading List
My goals for continuing education through reading:
Reading 18 books; 6 biographies, 3 psychology books, 3 business books, 3 self-improvement books, and 3 books chosen by my wife.
Those devoted to advancing personal growth by studying the lives and teachings of those greater than themselves will not only see vast improvement in their own lives, but also in the lives of those around them. Therefore, my educational goal for 2018 is to become a student of the greats by intentionally reading quality books.
