Books Our Best Companion

I generally prefer to read articles instead of books. However, there are a few books that have been an influence on my personal and professional life. In their unique ways, these books encourage a thoughtful, human-centric philosophy for work and life. I have also found, as is often relayed in these books, that small steps, well-executed by purpose-driven leadership can bring about momentous change. On the personal side, this reinforces the power of empathy. The ability to construct conscious lives and value-based businesses requires us, first and foremost, to have both compassion and appreciation for people and the planet.
