Daring Greatly by Brené Brown

Daring Greatly by Brené Brown

There are so many books telling us to be strong. Books telling us to get through problems. Books telling us to harden ourselves. Books telling us that showing emotion is a sign of weakness. I believed that way of thinking once too. Many people do today. Then came...
The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown

The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown

You probably think perfection sounds great. In theory, anyway. It feels like the ultimate goal. But Brené Brown’s “The Gifts of Imperfection” argues that pursuing perfection is actually the exact opposite — it keeps you from living fully. At least,...
12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson

12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson

The book “12 Rules for Life” by Jordan Peterson won’t stay silent on the shelf. It is brave, doesn’t apologize, and is willing to question what most people think. A lot of people think of it as a regular self-help book. No, it is not. It is a...
Book Review: The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod

Book Review: The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod

Morning routines are everywhere. People talk about them as if they hold the key to success. Wake up at five. Drink lemon water. Run ten miles. Meditate. Journal. Read. Work before sunrise. It sounds impressive, almost heroic. But here is my contrarian take. Most...

Never Split The Difference by Chris Voss

Never Split The Difference by Chris Voss

Some negotiation books sound like they were written in a closed room far away from real life. This one does not. Chris Voss is not just another voice sharing theory. He has lived through conversations where the wrong word could mean the loss of a life. As a former FBI...
The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins

The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins

Mel Robbins is not your typical self-help author. In The Let Them Theory, she does not preach positivity. She invites us to stop managing other people’s opinions. Her advice is simple. If someone doubts you, let them. If someone misunderstands you, let them. That’s...
Proof of Life by Jennifer Pastiloff

Proof of Life by Jennifer Pastiloff

Jennifer Pastiloff doesn’t write to impress. She writes to feel alive. That’s what makes Proof of Life more than just another memoir. It’s a reminder that truth doesn’t need to be polished to be powerful. I don’t usually enjoy books about pain. I like books that move...
