If you’re anything like me, you love a good book—especially one that challenges the way you think, work, and live. So, I’m kicking off this week with five books that left a lasting impact on me, and I think you’ll love them too.
?? Becoming – Michelle Obama More than just a memoir, this book reinforced the power of networking and curiosity when figuring out career shifts. Michelle’s journey from law to public service to the White House is a reminder that big transitions often start with small conversations.
?? The Let Them Theory – Mel Robbins This book is a game-changer when it comes to letting go of caring what others think. The premise? When people show you who they are, let them. When they do things you don’t like, let them. Less resistance, more peace.
?? Supercommunicators – Charles Duhigg As someone who speaks and writes about human connection, this book was packed with insights. It breaks down what effective communication really looks like—from tough conversations to building stronger relationships.
?? The 5 AM Club – Robin Sharma I’ve always wanted to be a morning person, and this book finally got me there. It gave me the push I needed to build a healthy morning routine, exercise consistently, and start my day with focus. Game-changer.
?? Open – Andre Agassi One of the best memoirs I’ve ever read. It’s about breaking free from what others expect of you and finally going after what YOU want. Agassi’s honesty about his struggles makes this one unforgettable.
Have you read any of these? Or do you have a book recommendation for me? Reply and let me know—I’m always looking for my next great read!
Here’s to the magic of connection,
