Book Recommendations: Books to Read on your Journey to Success
Success. According to Merriam-Webster, success can be defined as a favorable or desired outcome. Depending on who you ask, success can mean different things and we can be successful in different things. For example, wealthiness can determine one’s success or being generally healthy and happy can be successful to someone.
Regardless of the type of success you wish to achieve, I have compiled a list of books to help you on your journey to success.
