13 Paradigm-Shattering Books to Open Your Mind
Some books are like an ice cold glass of water on a hot day. They’re immediately refreshing, and you finish the entire book in one sitting.
Others are like a fine, 20-year old oak barrel-aged Cabernet Sauvignon. You don’t want to rush it. You can’t.
Just like every small sip comes with a new world of flavors and smells, every paragraph of these 13 books brings paradigm-breaking truths and powerful knowledge you must absorb slowly in order to implement the principles in your life.
These type of books are often more difficult to read. They require patience, deliberate thinking, and time away from reading to process and implement the knowledge. Many people simply do not have the patience or focus to read slowly and carefully.
But for anyone willing to spend the extra time and effort, these 13 paradigm-shifting books can change your life — like they changed mine.
