Here are some books that have helped shape my thinking over the years.

I was never a book reader when I was younger, but I wonder if this was more because I had never found any books that I actually enjoyed - guess it's never too late.

The Books 📗 on this list have also helped me get inspired to create and share all of my frameworks and the future training and courses I have in the works (there are many more books + journals that aren't here for space purposes)
