One of the best things that I have done this year it has been to read as many books as I could. I wouldn’t be the same person without all this hours spent reading. I hadn’t made the same decisions that I have made in the last twelve months without all the knowledge that only books can create inside of ourselves. The way that we grow up, the way that we keep learning and become better humans is because of the books we choose to read or, at least, this is how I see it.


As a friend would like to say “you are what you eat”. I would like to add “we are what we read too”.


For the next year, I guess I am going to read more about corporate social responsibility. So, please don’t hesitate to contact me and give me your advice and be part of my 2017 book list of the following year. As you can see, in the list ahead I like to keep the name of the person who recommended me a book.
