Mark Shapiro is a self-proclaimed 'self-help dork' and loves to read. Sometimes it's to prep for an upcoming guest on the podcast. Sometimes it's for fun. Regardless of the reason, he's put in his time to seek growth from many books. It doesn't matter if it's printed on pages, scrolling on his phone, or listening to the audiobook, Mark is always taking something in.
On today's episode, Mark shares his top five books for personal development that anyone can jump into and find value for themselves and their vision. These are definitely game changers and should be looked at if you haven't done so already. Let us know what you think of Mark's list and what books you would have included if we had to make a longer list!
