Personal growth book recommendations

Believe it or not, there was a time when I HATED reading! There was even a time when people would recommend books for me to read and I would roll my eyes. I was so closed minded about what was possible by reading or listening to an audio book.

Ironically, I was gifted the book You are a Badass for my birthday by my sister in law. When I asked her if she like it her response was “I don’t need a book to tell me I’m a badass”. Evidently I did. The title caught my attention, so I decided I would at least read the first chapter. Jen’s sarcastic and straight forward message had me hooked and the rest is history.

It blows my mind to think about how many books I have read over the years!

This list is my top 10, in no particular order. Some are a light read filled with humor and sarcasm (my favorite) and others broke my brain trying to understand, but I loved the message)
