Dear Listener,
This week, we’re diving into the type of books that don’t just tell a great story or share a great idea, but truly change lives.
What makes a book life-changing? It’s one that lingers in your thoughts, shifts your perspective, or nudges you to take action. And what better gift to give someone than a book that has the potential to inspire, empower, or transform their life? Whether you’re shopping for a loved one, a colleague, or even yourself, I’ve got you covered with some incredible recommendations.
I hope you enjoy the listen and do let me know your favourite, life-changing books!
