My favorite read in 2024

Book cover of The Great Prayer

Joe Contrera ❤️ loved this book because...

This is an interpretation of the Lord's Prayer in a way that you will never forget. It was written and published back in 1946 and turned my world upside down in terms of the ideas and thoughts he presented. It is forgotten wisdom that has been known for a very long time but presented in a way that will help you make sense of yourself, the world, and the power that is within you!

My 2nd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Masters of the Air: How The Bomber Boys Broke Down the Nazi War Machine

Joe Contrera ❤️ loved this book because...

This book was the premise for the Apple TV Series of the same title. It brings you right into the heat of the battle in WWII and what these brave men, some of them teenagers, were faced with on a daily basis. It stirs the emotions while helping you to understand what happened in the lives of many of those who sacrificed their lives for our country. Sometimes we forget the sacrifices previous generations made and the challenges they faced. While we all face challenges in our lives this book is a great reminder of the commitments that allowed us to be the country we are today.

What is this book about?

'Seconds after Brady's plane was hit, the Hundredth's entire formation was broken up and scattered by swarms of single-engine planes, and by rockets launched by twin-engine planes that flew parallel'

Historian and World War II expert Donald Miller brings us the story of the bomber boys who brought the war to Hitler's doorstep. Unlike ground soldiers they slept on clean beds, drank beer in local pubs, and danced to the swing music of the travelling Air Force bands. But they…


My 3rd favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Collected Essays of Ervin Seale

Joe Contrera ❤️ loved this book because...

Not to repeat an author, however this book had a profound impact on me this year. This is one in a series of books based on New Thought Leaders. It is a collection of essays and talks that were done by Ervin Seale. Be careful to not confuse this book and make it about religion, it is about new thought, it is about spirituality. Many folks have written books about leadership, and while it might be hard to think of this book as a leadership book, it most definitely is. It is about bringing out the best version of yourself to the world and isn't that what leaders do, they help bring out the best version of you? This book will help you realize that the power to change is with in you. It is not something you seek from the outside, it is found by looking within yourself. So many folks today look externally for happiness, hope, change, love, etc. This book will help teach and guide you how to find it internally.

Extraordinary Results for Life: Discover Your Path to Be UN-ordinary

By Joe Contrera,

Book cover of Extraordinary Results for Life: Discover Your Path to Be UN-ordinary

What is my book about?

While many books have been written on leadership, there are few books who make the connection that you cannot be a great leader and a lousy person, it is incongruent. This book is exactly about that! Most folks want to live an extraordinary life. We look at athletes and entertainers and those who have fame and fortune and we project onto them our own extraordinariness. Ordinary is defined as common, known, and safe. Ex - simply means outside. So extraordinary means what is outside of what is common, known and safe. If you want to live an extraordinary life you have to be willing to go outside of your comfort zones, outside of what is known, safe, and common to you. An extraordinary life is a life made up of all the 1000's of decisions you made along the way to go outside of your comfort zones and push those boundaries further and further out. This book will help you to do exactly that!
