2 Books That You’ll Probably Hate But NEED To Read (2117)

Next Level University

Hard to read, rich in gold, lessons for the brave and bold. In today’s episode, Kevin and Alan share two life-shaping books they didn’t want to read but are now glad they did. They explore how uncomfortable truths in books can trigger growth, the hidden cost of missed learning, and why mentorship (even through pages) can shift your entire path. Whether you’re chasing big goals or want to make better decisions, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the hardest lessons are the ones we need most.
