The autodidact must be a life-long reader. So here's my recommended reading list (in no particular order) which has typically been given directly to new $10/month patrons but we also wanted to do a post here with it as well.
There are hundreds if not thousands of good books of substance out there. This list is continually being refined and updated to works which I personally have found the most life transformative.
Please send me any others that have really rocked your world as well.
