Self-Improvement 101
John C. Maxwell · 2015
🎙 Narrated by Sean Runnette
72/100
👍 Worth It
A short, practical entry in Maxwell's long-running leadership series — nothing new if you've already read his bigger books, but reliably faith-informed and well-organized for a quick primer on leading yourself before you lead others. Sean Runnette is an experienced, well-reviewed narrator, making this a solid, worth-it listen even if it's more appetizer than full meal.
