Books are a productivity “cheat code.” In a few hours or days, you can learn something the author took a lifetime to figure out.
The books you read don’t have to be life-changing — a good book can just be a good book, and sometimes, you never know when the dots will connect, even years later.
In this episode, we share six books that resonated with us and we think you should read this year.
You can find links to everything we share in the show notes by going to https://theproductivityshow.com.
