What powerful books have you read recently?
As many of you know, I am avid reader. In the #CJJblog this week, I wanted to share 12 books I have read in the last 3 months. Just a reminder, that I do a book recommendation on my social media every Wednesday. Make sure to check them out! I would love to hear some recommendations of any books that you believe I should read as well. Enjoy.
1) Sustain Your Game: by Alan Stein, Jr. This is Alan’s second book. His first was Raise Your Game. Alan does excellent research on how you can overcome stress and burnout to keep growing and be the best you can be. Alan is also a wonderful keynote speaker and will be a guest on our podcast later this month.
2) Becoming the Change: by Dan Wolfe. Dan is an educational leader in Florida. He shares five essential elements needed to become the best version of yourself. I highly recommend you take the test within the book as well, which will help your self-awareness. Dan is also going to be a guest on our podcast in July.
