    Next time you make a book list, make a list of the books that you know I’ve not read! But I have my list of four books to buy and read, so I am grateful. Thanks!

    Chris – thanks for the list, and thanks for your mentorship (of the Team) for providing us with the “New” Information we get through our awesome training system. I’ll have to say that every time I came across a book in the list that I’ve read, my chest stuck out a little further. I will definitely through the remainder of this list to arm myself with the tools needed to affect the direction of our country. You guys rock!

    This is a great list because it covers a lot of areas but it’s not to overwhelming. I just finished “Atlas Shrugged” a few weeks ago. Certainly the longest book I’ve ever read but I gained so much insight from it that I would recommend everyone read it at least once. Then refer to Cliff’s Notes. 🙂 God Bless,
    Bert

    Excellent list of books. If you are interested, my executive business coaching blog has info about the books I’ve written and myself as an author. I’m about to launch a brand new book called “Leading at Lightspeed” and looking for good readers to give reviews!
