Book Notes
Book Summaries
There are soo many things to do and learn growing up, reading a ton of books amongst them. And I have always loved reading books since i was a child. Books were an escape to different worlds of authors imaginations. I was super charged to absorb everything I could from every book and live vicariously through each of them. Somewhere down the line I started the down the path of self improvement and since then i have always looked for books with the most impactful ideas and insights which could help evolve my thinking and my decision making skills. But there are soo many to choose from in this information overload age. We cannot really read all of them but its important we find we find the time for the most important ones. That’s what this section is about, I go through the most important books that have influenced me the most and that I feel everyone should read atleast once.
