My family and friends know that I’m constantly reading or listening to books. You can call me a junkie. I love learning and have a passion for all that the world can absorb from what is available in print. Better yet, technology brings volumes to our fingertips, eyes and ears in ways inconceivable just thirty years ago. I consume mostly non-fiction to continue learning 24/7 and almost feel guilty reading novels just for fun. However a great novel does sneak its way onto my nightstand from time to time.
In this list you will find books covering topics spanning biographies from entrepreneurs, self help, investing and business, countries, culture and history. I focus on investing as I am a value investing nerd on the side and I love learning from the best investors of our time.
If they are on this list, they left their mark on my mindset, inspired me, punched me in the gut, uplifted my soul, made me a better investor and entrepreneur, and a better husband, father and person. I hope this list and the books on it add value to your life like they have mine.

As I continue to discover new books, I will add them to this list. If you have any recommendations of your own, please send them to me!
