Clarity Street's Book Club List for Personal & Professional Development!

Over the last 2 years or so, we've had a number of wonderful industry contacts, clients and advisors tell us about their favourite personal and professional books... Books they have recommended that Clarity Street should read in order to develop our skills!

The list is varied and wonderful... oldies and new books. Full of professional, business and personal development topics - areas we all need improvement in. 

Whilst some are better than others, we can 100% say that every book we've listened to through Audible (either driving in the car or walking the dogs) has given us at least 1 gold nugget to take away. 

Reading these books is also a great way to get team engagement. This could include starting a monthly book club and having regular discussions - something that would benefit all team members!

Clarity Street is still working through the list (it keeps growing!), but we have now compiled our TOP 42! (Just to note, these aren't in any particular favourite order. It's the order in which we've been given the books over time... Every time there's a new one, it's added to the list!)

We'll keep adding to the list when we find out about a new book that we should read. We're hoping the list will continue to grow and help your teams and businesses!
