Weekly Book Recommendation: Introduction

One of the great things about the internet is its ability to expand your knowledge base, simply by introducing people to things that might not have known existed otherwise. So with that cycle of recommendation in mind, I plan on sharing my experience with a different book, essay, or article each week. A great part of personal growth is listening. I take that to mean one should always be looking for opportunities to learn. There are so many great authors writing great books right now that it would be a sin not to take advantage of the opportunity to absorb these stories and mine them for bits of wisdom. I'm not writing book reviews. I'm recommending pieces that I think have value either in entertainment, knowledge, or insight. I'll run down some quick bullet points about the piece that I found intriguing.
