I have an absolute passion for reading. Books on business, people, psychology, innovation, spirituality and anything that relates to growing myself personally. I often get book recommendations and often forget them a few days later. So I decided to start a list here, where I can’t loose it. Here are the books I want to read, and, eventually, the books I have read and what I thought about them:
