Reading is a powerful way to acquire skills, knowledge, and inspiration. It also keeps your brain sharp and your curiosity alive.
The impact of a book depends on your personality, your circumstances, and how its message resonates with you. Don’t expect a book to change your life — only you can do that. A book can spark change, ignite action, or shift your mindset. But without action, it’s just another title on the shelf.
I read about three books a month. Below are some of the most inspiring and life-changing reads I’ve encountered. Fiction, too, can be a great source of creativity and insight — not just for the stories, but for the way they’re told. On the tab “Free Resources” you’ll find my summaries of many of these books, don’t miss them.
