One of Neora\u2019s Core Values is \u201cPursue Constant Development of Self,\u201d because we believe no matter how accomplished, fulfilled and successful we are, there\u2019s always room for improvement and growth. Inspired by National Book Lovers Day, we asked Neora executives to share their favorite personal development books that have made a difference in their lives.<\/p>

Of course, we\u2019re incredibly proud that Neora\u2019s Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Olson, is the author of The Slight Edge<\/em><\/a>, a best-seller that helps people worldwide find success and happiness. And speaking of happiness, we also have to brag on our own Deborah K. Heisz, Neora Co-Chief Executive Officer, and her book, Live Happy: Ten Practices for Choosing Joy<\/em><\/a>. Here are more great recommendations:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
