At least once a day, I get asked for book recommendations. And as someone whose been through some seriously hard seasons (divorce, my son's medical crisis, major debt, and more), I had to find good resources to get me through it.
I finally sat down and put together a list of 20 books that transformed my life. I organized them by what you might be going through right now: Burnout. Negative self-talk. Identity shifts. Trauma. Money stuff. Breaking old patterns.
These aren't books that told me to optimize harder. They're the ones that helped me stop performing wellness and actually start healing.
The full list has my highlights, the quotes I return to, and why each one mattered.
