Powerful Reading

“You are the same today that you are going to be in five years from now except for two things: the people with whom you associate and the books you read.” – Charles Jones

Reading is important.  It shapes who you are, exposes you to a wealth of knowledge that is impossible to acquire through experience alone.  Books can inspire, mentor, and comfort you.  Books give you access to generations of wisdom from people you will never meet, but from whom you can benefit tremendously.  As you grow inpower, take advantage of this wonderful gift.

As Charles Jones mentions in the above quote, in order to grow one must associate with those who are either at a higher level than you are currently or are growing along with you, and you must read.  Get InPower.com and Partners InPower membership give you opportunities to associate with people who are growing.  The reading part is up to you.

Here is a list of some of my favorite books.  I hope you enjoy them and come back to this page often as I continue to add new suggestions.
