Reading is a great way to discover new thoughts, challenge old thoughts, and become wiser. There’s no shortage of books out there and that’s a GOOD thing.

The knowledge of ages is stored within these tomes. They contain the blood, sweat, and tears of those who have led before us.

Their knowledge is waiting for you to dig in.

Today, I’m sharing our once a month feature of books to read this month. I hope you enjoy this look into 5 books leaders should read.

These are just recommendations of great books to put on your reading list.

For September, please consider the following 5 books to read.
