I thought it would be a good idea to start cataloging these nuggets of wisdom that I have benefited from, and share them with others. I will start with a page pointing to online articles and in coming weeks add another that catalogs books. For the most part, I’ve tried my best to avoid articles that cause great controversy or debates, but given the nature of our industry it is sometimes unavoidable. Please feel free to point out other articles that you have found beneficial to your career, and I will update the list. Happy Reading!
