Most people don’t read that many books, maybe a few a year at most. So if you’re only going to read a couple books this year, the decision of which ones you choose becomes really important.

In today’s episode, Ryan shares a handful of books he’s confident are worth your time. They’ve changed him, made him better, and he believes they’ll make you better too in a lot of different areas of your life.
