What is your favorite business book you’ve ever read and what impact did it have on you?

You are a Badass by Jen Sincero because, yeah, I am a badass! This isn’t so much a business book as it is a book for self improvement, but, for me, those two things are one and the same most of the time. You are a Badass showed me how to create a life I would love, and, in turn, I did.
