Recommended Reading

I like to read a lot, and I find myself often recommending books to friends, whether they ask or not. This is a collected listing of some of the books I find myself most often recommending. These are some of my favorites that have shaped my thinking the most in the last few years. This list only comes out of my own reading, and by no means be considered a comprehensive listing of the best books out there!

For the sake of simplicity, I’ll restrain from commenting on each book, but you can find my thoughts on most of these books by doing a search on the blog. Feel free to email me or leave a comment if you have questions about any of them.
