ABOUT ME
Books have significantly improved my life. They have given me the chance to sit at the feet of the world’s most brilliant thinkers to learn about business, leadership, psychology, history, and a host of other topics.
My free time is spent reading loads of books, writing, playing sports with friends, and going out on weekly date nights with my wonderful wife.
My goal with this site is to share leadership and self-improvement insights, as well as book recommendations. Feel free to comment with your thoughts and recommendations as well. I’d love to hear them!
You’ll notice that I give strong reviews to the vast majority of books I review. That’s because the purpose of this blog is largely to share awesome books—not terrible ones. Just like you, I occasionally read books that I don’t particularly enjoy. However, I don’t think it’s worth your time or mine to post a review just to tear into a book. If you are interested in hearing about business books you may actually enjoy, make yourself at home on this site.
Thanks for checking out my site. I hope you enjoy it and stumble upon useful information to guide your career and your next reading selection.

"Every man I meet is my superior in some way. In that, I learn of him."
"I am more afraid of an army of 100 sheep led by a lion than an army of 100 lions led by a sheep."
"If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?"
"I've been preparing for death all my life by the life I've led."
"What you will become in five years will be determined by
what you read and who you associate with."
The fun legal stuff
The views represented on this site are mine alone.
Note: I am a participant in the affiliate associate programs that are designed to provide a means for me to earn fees by linking to affiliated sites like Bookshop.org. While I do receive revenue when users purchase books with links from my site, every review represents my honest appraisal of the book and its author. My reputation is on the line; if I refer readers to books they don't like, they won't look to me for future reading recommendations. Overall, this site is not a "money-maker"—it is an enjoyable, professional hobby.
