Inspiring books
To write and research for my profession and business, and of course for this blog, I like to read. Curated newsletters (like Exponential View, Thomas Pueyo, Christ Coolen), I read and write on Twitter and books. Both paper books and e-books. Here you find a selection, during this year I will write about some of inspiring books in more depth and length.
