5 Business-Adjacent Books to Add to Your Reading List this Year
If you didn’t already know this about me, I LOVE reading. However… I usually prefer to read fiction books for entertainment rather than non-fiction for educational purposes. That being said, I do try and push myself each year to read a handful of non-fiction books to better myself and my business.
After all, it’s no secret that running a business is a challenging undertaking that requires you to step into many different roles that are not your zone of genius. We can’t be experts at everything, but we can always strive for improvement with little nuggets of wisdom from those who’ve found success before us.
So, here are my top 5 favorite reads from 2023 that you should add to your 2024 bookshelf.
These books have helped me grow on a personal level both in and outside the confines of my business. *SPOILER ALERT* these aren’t your average “business” books. They’re more so business-adjacent offering priceless life skills that will inevitably bring your business to the next level of success. You’ll see a common thread as you scroll through them below.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
