Ken McElroy’s November Reading List: 10 Books That Build Leadership, Mindset, and Financial Intelligence
November is the perfect month to pause, reset, and intentionally prepare for the months ahead. As the year winds down, it’s natural to reflect on what worked, what didn’t, and what skills you want to strengthen. It’s also a season of gratitude — and one of the best ways to honor that is by investing in yourself through learning.
Long-term success is built on lifelong education. This curated November reading list is designed to help you sharpen your leadership, elevate your mindset, improve communication, and make smarter financial decisions, no matter where you are in your personal or investing journey.
