"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

Reading opens to each of us a breathtaking corridor of knowledge, purpose and power. Consider the greatest minds in history and the most innovative minds of today. From Ben Franklin to Bill Gates, these leaders share a common trait: they were and are avid readers and they understand that the acquisition of knowledge is as critical to the mind as exercise is to the body.

Here, you'll find Andy's recommended reading list — everything from philosophy, to economics and politics, to psychology and beyond. These books represent just a fraction of the thousands that Andy has read, continues to re-read and contain ideas and concepts that have impacted him 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.
