Are you looking for some amazing books to read in order to make a change in your life?
Over the past several years, the following list of personal development books and professional books to read have been in my ear and on my Kindle. They are the books that I’ve taken with me through my anxiety and depression struggle that has helped me break through and find success.
Listen here about my struggle with anxiety.
I’m sharing this list of amazing books to read with you to help you break through struggles of whatever you’re facing.
Don’t have time to read? Me neither! The following I have been able to take with me anywhere and listen via audiobook. And when I say anywhere…I really do mean ANYWHERE! The garden. The cow pasture. On my commute to town. In the tractor hauling hay.
Wherever you choose to take them, audiobooks are life changing. There’s a couple of different memberships you can join that will allow you to listen to audio books. The one I listen to is Audible.

For any books I want to read that I can’t get on Audible, I also have this Kindle that I can read at night while the kids sleep. You can get one for yourself here!
Let’s dive into the list, shall we?
