Welcome back to the Prosperous Empath®, during today’s episode, I'm excited to share with you some of the books that have completely unlocked new perspectives, levels of growth, transformed experiences in my relationships, with my finances, and have ultimately made the biggest difference for me in business and life over the past decade. Each of the books are either related to relationships, money mindset, or overcoming resistance. I’ll be sharing the top 13 books, but breaking them into a two-part series so make sure you’re subscribed to the show to be reminded of next week’s episode. Now, something I really appreciate about personal development books, leadership books, and self-help books is that some people can be empowered by them, and others not so much... If you are someone who uses personal development books to justify why you are where you are, consider not listening to this episode because I don't want to provide more fuel to that fire. But if you're willing to check your own assumptions and start questioning some of the bounds of what's possible for you and the people in your life, then listen on. After listening, let me know which book you are adding to your TBR!
