There are thousands of books about education, parenting, leadership, college/careers, and personal growth, but not all are created equal.  I have spent a considerable amount of time seeking books that focus on how we can improve our personal or professional lives. I am particularly drawn to those that teach me how to learn, how to be happy, how to lead, and how to be my best self.  The reading list below contains some of my favorite books on these topics, and I hope each book will lead you to another.  Some authors listed have spoken at New Trier thanks to our partnership with Family Action Network (FAN).

I hope you enjoy this list. In turn, please drop me a line to share some of your favorite books!
