My Inspirational Summer Reading List

One of my favorite things to do in the spring, summer & early fall is to grab a good book and read in Central Park. Normally I head to one of the green hills or a shadowed space overlooking the pond, but recently I’ve been spending a lot of time near Bethesda Fountain. There is something inspiring about being surrounded by people from around the world and artists playing various instruments.

Now that we are moving to the Upper East Side, I know these trips to the park are going to become a lot more frequent. So in an attempt to prepare for more frequent trips to the park, I’ve decided to create a list of books I intend to read this summer. I’m a big fan of books with inspiring messages/stories, business-focused self-help kind of books and faith based books.

These are a few books currently on my ‘inspirational summer reading list’ {in alphabetical order}:
