The Freedom Team had a very difficult time narrowing down all of the books that were submitted for the Best Business Book Contest. There were so many great ones to pick from AND a ton of great recommendations I know our team will be reading this summer.
I complied all of the entries so you can have an easy to reference ”to-read” list. One aspect of this list I found interested was that not all of the books submitted would be found in the business section of a book store, but the information in the books can be directly applied to your professional life.

Forget the cover-ups, wrinkle creams, and cosmetic surgeries. To stay young, form the habit of Constant Learning. Education is a virtue that guarantees youthfulness.
Wisdom is not the province of the old. We all have known old people who continuously spout off opinions, but an old person who listens is the one who actually knows something. Nor is education about going to school. A classroom setting may be an effective venue for an introduction to some subjects. Nevertheless, mastery is always gained from what you do outside the classroom. So stop dividing life into school and “real life.” Real life is your school and it always has been.
