Hey everyone. I'm curious what books you've found to be useful in your own lives and if you have any reccomendations for us.

Mine would be the Compound Effect by Darren Hardy which talks about consistent small actions leading to momentum/habit and driving massive amounts of change.

The Lost Art of Listening.

The idea that listening involves temporarily setting your own needs aside to truly understand the other person continues to impact my life since I read the book a few years ago. It's one of those things that you read and think, "I knew this already...". But when you do it in the way you read it in this book, it's truly transformative. At least, that's how it worked out for me.
