For #worldbookday I thought i’d share some of the books i’ve referred to most over the past year!

There’s a lot of knowledge and skills that can be picked up in these books and i’ve dedicated a lot more time to reading over the past year.

This was a big learning in itself, that being: if you think a book could help you solve a problem or make your work life easier then buy it! And read it of course! It’s easy to procrastinate on what to read and end up reading nothing.

You can decide to learn through trial and error for 2 years or you could spend £30, learn from people who are more experienced than you and from the mistakes they’ve made in the c5 hours it takes to read the book.

When you start to implement these learnings and see results, all of a sudden that £30 seems very cheap.
