This episode, however, is an experiment and part of a shorter series I\\u2019m doing called \\u201cBooks I\\u2019ve Loved.\\u201d I\\u2019ve invited some amazing past guests, close friends, and new faces to share their favorite books\\u2014the books that have influenced them, changed them, and transformed them for the better. I hope you pick up one or two new mentors\\u2014in the form of books\\u2014from this new series and apply the lessons in your own life.
