The Desire Map by Danielle LaPorte I can’t stop hearing all the buzz about this book. If you are seeking to become a goal smasher and finally conquer those big dreams, this is a summer must read! I am personally putting it on my future reading list! About the Author Tribes by Seth Godin This book is all about inspiring people to be leaders and becoming a leader yourself. The title say says it all “TRIBES”. I cannot say that I have read this book, however, I know some business friends who loved it! From all the reviews I read online, the book deserves a fair chance on making your summer must reading list. The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson I have slight confession to make about this inspirational piece of literature (no-pun intended)! I’ve actually read the book twice. The first time I picked it up, was roughly five years ago and I hated it. I thought it was boring, dull and lacked any serious spunk. Fast forward to roughly six months ago. I received this book as a gift and thought hey, one more chance. I instantly fell in love and was hooked on Jeff Olson’s slight edge theory. I can honestly say that five years ago when I crossed paths with this book my mind and spirit was not ready for it. I was not in the right mindset. If you are ready to cross over to the slight edge, Jeff is your guy. I quote this book multiple times a day. Sometimes just to myself! You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero Well I think the title says it all! I’m absolutely positive that everyone who reads this magazine has caught on to the fact that we like to be a little badass! Whoops...I guess the secret is officially out. I have not personally picked up this book, but my fellow bosses loved it! Jen addresses all of the behaviors that make you a self saboteur.
