One question I get asked so often is if I can recommend any books. So I thought I’d compile a list for you all here of books that are on my own bookshelf, on my to-read list, and of course, the monstrous collection of self-help books I never stop referring to. Find below, a comprehensive yet ever-expanding list.

What are you reading? What should be on my list? Should we start a SP Bookclub?
