Living is learning. And we’re supposed to share our shit, right? So here’s a list of books I’ve read that I suggest you read too. I do not necessarily agree with everything these authors say. I add these titles here simply because I think they are worth a read. I’ve tried to sort the titles by topic, but this is not an exact science, you realize…
The links lead to the respective books at Amazon (or occasionally Swedish AdLibris.)
