About the Great Books
Each year for the XP-Seminar, we cull the world for great books on personal enrichment, management and leadership:
- Classics—never forget about the great ones!
- Business books—our friends in the business world have lessons to teach us.
- Christian books—national thought leaders writing on vital topics.
The current year’s books are offered at the Free Book Table during the XP-Seminar. As the Spanish philosopher Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás (known as George Santayana in English) wrote: Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Read, grow, learn from others!
