I’ve always been an avid reader of books. Having owned a business for the vast majority of my professional life, I used books as my “mentors” to see and learn how others were attacking and conquering business problems. At my peak, I averaged more than one business book per week. These days, the volume of books I read is certainly down while the time I spend reading blog posts and white papers is up. I do still find great value in consuming a strong, insightful book.
