In Thriveal, it’s not uncommon for you to hear talk in the community about growth. When we think of growth, of course we think about increasing our bottom line, but growth is so much more.
This year we have determined that we will focus on growth of a different kind…personal and professional growth as a team and we are doing this by committing to read more. Reading should be a habit that we adopt just like we would proper nutrition, exercise or meditation. According to a recent article by Piedmont Medical, reading helps reduce stress, keeps your mind sharp, and helps you sleep better.
If you need help jumpstarting your reading habit (or maybe new suggestions to continue), Jason and Julie have put together their top 20 biz books list.
