Start anywhere. Keep going.
The strongest reading paths usually start with the problem you can name clearly.
Big Magic
Elizabeth Gilbert
Let curiosity make the first mark, then let devotion return tomorrow.
A New Earth
Eckhart Tolle
Awareness is the quiet revolution: the moment the old self is seen, a new earth has already begun.
Daring Greatly
Brené Brown
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
Unleash the Power of Storytelling
Rob Biesenbach
Stories are not decoration around strategy. They are how people decide what to believe and what to do next.
Designing Your Work Life
Bill Burnett, Dave Evans
You do not find a work life by thinking harder. You design it by building small proofs of what could be true.
No Mud, No Lotus
Thich Nhat Hanh
The lotus does not bloom despite the mud; it blooms because the mud has been understood.
The Catalyst
Jonah Berger
The fastest way to change minds is to stop changing minds and start changing the path.
The Comfort Crisis
Michael Easter
Comfort is useful when it helps you recover. It becomes a crisis when it keeps you from discovering what you can carry.
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind
Joseph Murphy
The subconscious does not argue with the picture you keep handing it. Change the picture, repeat it with feeling, and behavior begins to obey a new expectation.
The Slight Edge
Jeff Olson
You do not rise to the level of your dreams. You compound to the level of your daily choices.
