What's on Your Reading List?

In Living an Exceptional Life, the late Jim Rohn refers to his library as one of his most prized possessions. As an accomplished author himself, Jim embraced the value of ideas and was always seeking out ways to improve his own value through reading the ideas of others.

As 2013 takes hold, what new ideas will you discover by reading books that will change the way you view the world, your job, your contributions and your relationships?

One of my goals this year is to read at least 30 books. That’s 2.5 books a month. For me, this is quite manageable, as I do most of my daily reading at the gym while on the elliptical trainer.

To get you going, here’s a list of some of the books I plan to read this year. If you have thoughts or recommendations of other books, please send them to me, as I get some of my best leads on new books from you, my readers.

Here’s what’s on my list today:
