Today’s blog post is all about great books to get the men in your life. Since Brandon has been on a mission to read 100 books this year, I asked him to write a Father’s Day blog post, rounding up 10 of his favorites so far. If you’ve got a man in your life who a) likes to read b) is feeling “stuck” or “unfulfilled” OR c) struggles to view life in a positive light, I think you’ll find the perfect book right here.
And with that, I give you today’s guest blog post, written by my absolute favorite guy!
