"If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." -Sir Isaac Newton.
Would you like to be able to stand upon the shoulders of giants? Well, you can. Consider that, according to Inc, BuzzFeed, HuffPost, Fortune, and even Bill Gates, successful professionals, on average, read 50 to 60 books per year. That is about one book per week. And you can do it too!
But first you need to source good books and that can be the tough part. Again, we have done the hard part for you. Our list, which will ultimately be about 100 books, or about 2 years worth of reading, is carefully selected from top sources. We have read them and sourced responses, quotes, and reviews from others. Where possible we have provided sources for free and/or paid copies.
Presented in alphabetical order, the books on this list (below) range from classics to current best sellers. Most [paid] links are to Kindle editions on Amazon. Most [free] links are to various sites offering copies in PDF format. Some offer both paid and free links. Get started reading today and see how much further you will see...
