My 2012-2013 Reading List

Learning is not just a phase in our lives that we leave behind us at graduation.  If we want to be effective and get more enjoyment out of our careers, families, spiritual lives, and even hobbies, we need to be lifelong learners.  I have just started embracing this principal and this is a list of books that I have either read in 2012, or plan on reading by the end of 2013. (I actually listen to them on Audio book)

• The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell (Leadership)
• Accidental Genius by Mark Levy (Creativity)
• Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell (Economics)
• The Bible (Spiritual)
• EntreLeadership by Dave Ramsey (Business/Leadership)
• Financial Peace Revisited by Dave Ramsey (Personal Finance)
• The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (Fiction)
• How to Stay Motivated by Zig Ziglar (Motivation)
• In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day by Mark Batterson (Spiritual)
• The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J. Stanley (Personal Finance)
• Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman (Spiritual)
• The Now Habit by Neil Fiore, Ph.D. (Motivation/Habits)

It may seem like a lot of books, but I listen while I'm doing other things like exercising, walking the dog, relaxing, or driving.  I'm always looking for a few more books to listen to, so give me your suggestions in the comments section.
