Life-Changing Books

8/3/2020

I had the privilege to interview Nick Hutchison of Bookthinkers this week on the podcast. We discussed life-changing books for both of us & I will be sharing those books on this post! I asked Nick for his top 5, & I am sharing 30 of my favorite life-changing books with you (I shared 5 of these on the show.) 
Disclaimer: I have read 25 of the 30 books I listed; the other ones are on my TBR bookshelf.
