Business + Marketing
Books that stop and make you think, and maybe see things from a different perspective.
Fantastic book-great to learn about the psychology of your buyers.
Influence, New and Expanded: The Psychology of Persuasion
Outstanding book that reveals how little, seemingly insignificant things, can be a catalyst for larger changes. Thought provoking for marketing and business.
The Tipping Point: How Little Things Matter
Another great Gladwell book that tells real stories of success with the 10,000-hour rule, but also acknowledges how different circumstances and privileges can influence success as well. It makes you think and is honestly just really interesting.
Outliers: The Story of Success - Malcolm Gladwell
A great book for creating change…in your good habits, in your bad habits, etc. Simple ways to make changes that stick are presented in an easy to implement way, and not in a super dry, instructional way.

Hope Rises
M.W. Craven has crafted a fantastic tale filled with suspense, mystery, etc. This reminded me of a mix between Bosch and Reacher. This is Book 1 in the new Ben Koenig series. The summary sets up a good overview of the novel, and I could not stop once...
Fearless (Ben Koenig, 1)

The American Wife: WW2 Fiction (Diplomat's Wife)

The Air He Breathes: Heartbreaking Romance
Non-Fiction
This is the story about a man who I worked for in my later teens. He was the store manager of the Wendy's that I worked at for a few years while I was in High School.
He was so nice and personable. I was one of his favorite employees. He reminded me of my dad a little bit at the time. I had no idea how incredibly wrong I was about that. He's nothing like my dad. I heard the stories about him throughout the years a...
Fair Warning-The grammar isn't the best and could really use an editor. I didn't bother me, but if that stuff drives you up a wall, you might not enjoy this quite as much.
