As we head toward the summer months, we should all try to find moments of peace. Those hours spent diving into a good book helps us tune out the world and tune into ourselves. Here is a list of books, suggested by ECE colleagues that you might want to check out. They are separated by personal and professional suggestions, but I have found that many books that are listed in the “professional” category, have also had an impact on my personal perspective too. Thanks to those who shared their favorites to be included in these lists. And if you have others to share, please add them to the thread in the forum.
Happy reading!!!
