📚️ Books for the Aspiring Nomad

So I was going down the rabbit hole of a Reddit thread…

There was particular post that I came across that had a user asking for books that an aspiring digital nomad must read.

Of course, a lightbulb went off and I thought, my readers might be interested in that too!

Not everyone here is already a nomad, and even if you are, you’re going to love these 5 picks. And so you don’t actually have to pay for the books, I found a service where you can access them for free!

3. Digital Nomads For Dummies - Why work from home when you can work from, well, anywhere? Kristin Wilson’s guide is a no-nonsense, step-by-step playbook for anyone thinking of taking their office on the road. Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned traveler, this one’s got the goods. ✈️

Aja Frost’s collection of over 500 hacks will have you mastering the art of productivity without ever stepping into an office again. Perfect for digital nomads who need a little extra help staying on track. 💻

If you want to access these books for free, I found a 30 day free trial offer for Everand, an online home for books, audiobooks, podcasts, magazines, newspapers, and more. You can redeem the offer and read (or listen) to the books of your choice at no cost to you during the trial period.

Hopefully one of these book picks resonates with you, and if you read any of them let me know if you liked it! 📖
