Memorial Day weekend has come and passed, and that means one thing: it’s unofficially summertime. For our team, that means long hours spent sprawled out on a beach towel, devouring the next title on our ever-growing reading list.
Since reading has been shown to promote relaxation and boost creativity, it’s an activity we always recommend, but especially to entrepreneurs. Who needs to relax and think creatively more than you?
For those who want to take us up on that advice, here’s a sampling of the mouthwatering reads our content team can’t put down right now.
