The books I read while travelling – Sep 2018

With a dozen flights, a few trains, several buses and some spare time at beaches, I had plenty of opportunities to read books during my trip, and there are definitely a few I'd like to recommend.

Most of my reads these days are non-fiction, largely focused on life improvement, motivation and so on, and I find these books to be quite inspirational.
As always with these books, you don't necessarily need to follow their advice to a T, as your environment and cultural background might differ, and your mileage may vary, but they offer food for thought. They plant a seed in your mind that could grow into something big.
