Books

Wiseroom Resource Library:  These books are ones I suggest for anyone who’s found their way onto my website.  All are free of BS and trendy hacks, and are all backed by research. I wish Wiseroom had a physical lending library for creatives in corporate, folks making a living in the arts, and anyone interested in leveling up their awareness.  Instead, get a proper library card and support your local bookstore.
