We are obsessed with educating ourselves through books.....because lets be real, sometimes you need to listen to the experts, and NOT the info flooding the internet. They are the most affordable resources that can change your life.

We always say...even if you walk away with ONE new tip or change in perspective, then that book has done its job. 

Knowledge is power, SURE. But knowledge put to practice is even more powerful. If you take away a tidbit from any of these books, try to implement them into your life. 

Check out some of our favorites below....
