3. The Autobiography of Malcolm X – A great modern tale of redemption and personal transformation. His tumultuous journey led him out of prison to become one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. Lesson learned: people can change.
2. The Art of War – Read by every leader since 500BC. That’s reason enough to give it a shot. Lesson learned: smash ants with a sledge hammer (figuratively speaking).
1. The Bible – The most popular book in history, full of epic tales of heroism, deceit, sex, redemption, murder, war, enlightenment, prophecy, and life lessons that are as valid today as gravity. Lesson learned: love thy neighbor as thyself.
