Hey there, it’s Nik again with 3 more free Book summaries for you!
It’s only September, but I usually spend the majority of the last 3-4 months of the year thinking about how I want to tackle the next.
My partner Luke Rowley is similar: He has summarized over 200 books for Four Minute Books, and now, for his own project Goal Engineering, he picked the 3 best books about setting and achieving goals, along with a few other honorable mentions.
I highly recommend you check it out, his systems and tracking tools are impeccable! Alright, let’s get into this week’s books.
