7 Life-Changing Books
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies . . . The man who never reads lives only one.” – George R.R. Martin
Books are the best way to learn from the greatest minds. A book often represents decades of wisdom, condensed into a few hundred pages. By reading, you gain life-changing knowledge in just a few days.
Here are seven books that transformed my life, and I believe they will do the same for you.
