Reading For Inspiration: 11 Books That Will Change Your Year

The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine: This book by Michael Lewis recounts the atmosphere which led to the housing and credit bubble of the 2000s and was so well received when it was released in 2010 that it spent a whopping 28 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Some of you may be more familiar with the movie it was made into, starring Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, and Steve Carrell, but the book deserves all of the credit. It will give you pause and encourage you to look at the various cogs in American structures which allow for such crises to happen, much like The Unwinding.
