Book Library
The Book Library — a growing collection of books that fuel clarity, creativity, and confidence for pilots thinking beyond the flight deck.
What’s Inside?
- Books that don't require autopilot to stay awake
- Flight-tested recommendations for business, mindset, wealth, and family
- Reading checklists (because we're pilots, after all)
- Occasional turbulence (aka books that punch you in the ego…in a good way)
Whether you’re building a business, building a life, or just trying to build something that outlasts a seniority number — this list has something for you.
P.S. I can’t guarantee these books will make you rich or wise. But they will help you avoid wasting years and thousands of dollars on things that don’t fly…
