Book I read this week: The Charge: Activating the 10 Human Drives That Make You Feel Alive by Brendon Burchard. I loved this book! Brendon explains the 5 baseline drives and the 5 forward drives that can make you the best possible version of you. These drives can make you enjoy every day of your life. It is worth your time to read it!

Book I’m reading next week: Life’s Golden Ticket: An Inspirational Novel by Brendon Burchard. Since I have read all of his other books, I thought I would read his fiction work as well.
