9 Books I Wish I'd Read Sooner

In this video, I share my personal list of 9 books that changed how I think, how I see people, and how I move through the world. I also talk about why I read both nonfiction and fiction at the same time, how I protect my reading time, and why long reading sessions do something for your brain that short ones just don't. If you used to be a reader and somewhere along the way lost it, this one's for you.
