Aaron was compelled to write Sincerity because of his experience with the impact of authentic relationships both personally and professionally. The book explores how we can go deeper in our daily relationships and emerge with a quality and quantity of relationships that we never dreamed of - and how we can enjoy the long-term success that often comes with these types of relationships.

Aaron Brooks is the first in his family to have an advanced college degree, graduating from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign with his MBA. Read more about Aaron.
