Recommended Reading List

Here is a random list of books I have read and personally endorse.  I have been meaning to do this post for a long time now, I just haven’t taken the time to do it properly.  Since people are asking for recommendations I will just post the list and populate it with my thoughts later.  Each one of these books impacted me in a unique way and changed my perspective of leadership, our government, or the military.

There is only one book on this list which I read the paper copy.  Most of them I actually listened to for free with an app from my local library.  The app is called OverDrive and my local library has instructions for how to download and connect it to my library account.  If a book is available on OverDrive I can borrow and download the eBook or the audio book for 21 days.  Now, I signed up for Audible because my audio book consumption exceeded what I could find on OverDrive.  If you use this link to sign up for Audible I get a small commission.
