In this episode of The Coleman Nation, I'm sharing a unique list of the top five fiction books that have profound influence as to leadership mindset and business philosophy. Moving beyond typical self-help and nonfiction recommendations, they are in an unlikely genre; science fiction and classic literature that shaped their vision, inspired creativity, and strengthened resilience.

Whether you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or simply someone looking to expand your thinking, these storytelling-driven books offer timeless lessons in leadership, adversity, vision, and innovation.

In this episode of The Coleman Nation, I go back to a life-changing summer from my teenage years and share how one powerful book—The Thinking Book—taught me the foundations of logic, critical thinking, and decision-making. Whether you're trying to make better life choices, raise smarter kids, or navigate the media chaos, this episode is packed with tools to sharpen your mind.

We break down the five primary illogics that cause bad thinking—and the five logics that support sound decisions. I also share how mastering these ideas helped me win debates, challenge authority (constructively!), and become a sharper communicator in all areas of life.

Grab a notebook, because this one’s a thinker.
