Library: 50 Recommended Books To Shift Your Mindset
There is no order to this list, but there is a definitive purpose - to shift perspective and look at life and work from a different lens. That is a very subjective undertaking so see what you're naturally drawn to. This is by no means a comprehensive list. It is curated based on what truly resonated with me upon first encounter and what continues to provide legacy value at every reading.
