Book Recommendations
"I've sat with kings and dined with poets, eavesdropped on history's most significant conversations and danced with ideas that forever changed me — all because I picked up a book."
Andy Andrews
Here's a list of books that the Andrews family is currently crazy about!— everything from philosophy, to economics and politics, to psychology and cook books and beyond. These books represent just a fraction of the thousands that Andy and Polly have read, continue to re-read and contain ideas and concepts that have impacted them tremendously. They have been carefully chosen as books that will specifically help you accelerate your understanding of significant ideas and connect to great minds as you seek a more purposeful and power-filled life.
